Hi Guys, I want to build a Aero Commander 500 S twin engine using palmerpaln. it recommends to use Saito FA-91 engine and one of them to be used "Counter Rotating". Does anyone know if the engine needs to be factory ordered for turning anti Clock Wise? or any one can.

Please let me know if you know how?

Cheers

I've 'heard' that counter rotating engines on models isn't worth the effort....but that's just hearsay. Post this on the Multi-engine forum and you might get a more definitive answer.

whats the point?it's a pain finding props for no advantage.

Hi!
You don't need counter rotating props!
I don't think SAITO makes counter rotating cams for their engines (OS does however).
My DC-3 flies just as good with out counterrotating props (the original did not have those).

I don’t use counter-rotating engines and don’t think it is important on a model. But I also don’t find high-speed engine synchronization to be very important. All of my setups have had 500 RPM or so engine differences.
