Are the IVO prop blades able to be "reversed" with regards to direction
of rotation (counter-clockwise to clockwise) and still provide thrust
properly..?


No. They have a pre-molded-in twist for right or left hand rotations.
The extra twist (+ or -) via the cam does nothing to the pre-twisted
root... just the outer 30% of the blades.

Even if you flipped them over, they have an airfoil profile that will
cease to be of any useful effect in generating full thrust... like
flipping a wing upside down... just won't create the proper lift.
