Brett, I don't understand what you mean by backwards running engine. If it's mounted wrong, well, it's mounted wrong. Has nothing do do with the way the prop turns.

CGr
The angle is there to overcome p factor right? The direction the prop turns is a contributor to p factor. I was just saying that if he had an engine that ran in the opposite direction, and a prop for it, then the thrust angle would be left instead of the traditional right, thats all. Very hypothetical.

Wphew.. I'll say..
