Can you Make DLE 55 Run Clockwise?
 

Ok, I have surched and there are a few threads on this topic, with a lot of you can, you cant but no one really saying I have done X and it runs just like a stocker dose.

I ask, not becouse I dont know how to use a rudder, but becouse I got a sweet Ziroli P38 and I want to make it as scale as possable.

I already have 2 DLE 55 on this bird and would like to reverse one.

Has anyone done it?

Dose it couse issues?

I read all that is needed is to reset the timeing, is that all? as there was a buch of talk of having to rotate the head...

Thanks Mike

Because it is a reed valve engine, all you have to do is relocate the timing sensor. You'll probably have to drill two new holes, time it for clockwise rotation and go fly it!

Thrust is still the same on all the bearings, etc. The rod will be thrusting the piston from a different side but that is no different than when same type cylinders are used on a twin. I can see no issues.

Mike, do you have a pusher prop in the size you need for this? Dan.

I belive Xoar can make the PJWWII props in pusher.

Good point thow.
