Default RE: whats different between tractor and pusher Propeller

These are APC 9x6 props the one on the left in the three pictures is a 9x6P or pusher. The pusher is installed backwards from what would be normally done with a tractor prop just like in the one on the left in the photo, when that engine is turned around to push the airplane forward it can still rotate in its normal direction.
