Light twins not using contra-rotating propellers
Capt.Doug writes:
Not mentioned by other posters is that stability in twins can be affected by which way the props rotate. The P-38 Lightning and Ted Smith Aerostar are examples of this. Counter-rotate the props one way and get better performance at the cost of stability. Turn the props in the opposite direction and get better stability at the cost of performance. These aircraft allow you to select the rotation direction of the props? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.
