Default 3 Blade Prop Orientation??

Hi All,

I'm about to drill and mount a 3 blade Biela 20-10 prop on a DLE-55 engine. Any suggestions on blade orientation with respect to the pickup magnet or the compression stroke? I don't plan to start these engines by hand, but you never know? I just want to do this "right" if there is such a thing?

Thanks,

John

The three blade prop has no preference due to equal mass didtribution in any prop position. Whatever suits you best will do fine.

For hand propping, one blade should be in aligment with the crank pin
