Contra-rotating engine revisited
This is annoying. "COUNTER-rotating" is the term you want.
"CONTRA-rotating" is when you have two different blades on the same shaft spinning in different directions. About 50% of the time one of these terms gets used, they get them mixed up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra-rotating_propellers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter...ing_propellers Chris W wrote: The previous post on this topic got me wondering. Just how different would the two engines need to be? I'm no expert, but it seems to me cam shaft(s), magnetos, and prop are the parts that would be different from one side to the other. I almost forgot, reverse the polarity on the starter motor. What am I missing?
