Folding props, both way's???
 
I'm assembling a World EP Mustang, came with a 400 motor, gear box and folding prop.
I have never used a folding prop, is it supposed to fold foreword too?

If the prop folds forward while your flying, you've got BIG problems[sm=spinnyeyes.gif] Tonto Rosenberg

I've got the thing together on the bench and can't figure out how it's suppose to work.
What keeps the prop from folding foreword? Not the spinner? The instructions suck!!!

Physics make it work. The centrifugal force on the blades will not allow them to go forward while the motor is turning.

I thought about too, sounds about right, thanks.
