The simpliest way would be to buy a strap on pick-up. There's one here, just scroll down a little 11.95 universal timing clamp. http://www.rcextremepower.net/ignitions.html

There is not a large selection of props in the pusher catagory. I would just rather reverse the rotation so I would have a better selection. Zinger only makes wood props, Right ? They dont do well when they come in contact with water...lol

tande. Not one for argueing but how do you come to that conclusion. My understanding is it's just an open port.

Menz make pusher props in most sizes. I bought a matched pair from Menz for the two counter rotating G62 in my Cessna 421

The offset mean's nothing other than it's offset. ALL reed block's are directional, just not as it regards to crank rotation. End of subject for me!!!!</p>

Yes....you can get it to run the other direction.....but not as strong.....the intake manifold (cast as part of the crankcase), is "Directional".....

I have.
jetG23,
Buy the universal positionsensor,set the timing at 28* BTDC,put the prop on backward and give it try, you may be surprised.

RE: DLE 111
Cool man, thanks !!! I dont have the engine yet. I didnt want to jump into it without knowing if it would run opposite.. it ought to make one heck of an Airboat engine !!

Have you reversed a DLE111 and ran it the other direction, doesn't sound like it from your post.
I have.
