RE: Contra rotating props
Would it work if you justreversed the motor direction and used stanard puller props? Most gear boxes and belt drives will work in either direction.
Am I missing something thats different aboutyoursystem?

RE: Contra rotating props
You can't have a contra rotating system where the props both turn the same way! Its not a contra rotating system then!
A pusher prop will allow you to have a reverse direction tractor prop if flipped around.

RE: Contra rotating props
OK, never having tried this and I know others have. Zinger sells a wooden pusher props.
So, could I run a both Zinger glow props on a contra rotating setup.
But... how do the loads differ between glow and electric props?
