I dink he means it sucks - from duh back side of prop - not suck from front?
A clock-wise spinning motor.

Building a SkyMaster or a Rutan wow wonder?

I have a few EFLITE motors and they all can be run either direction by switching any 2 wires so what's new with this than if that's what he means by counter rotating?

Good point ( I really wasn't dissing ya Ultimate)
and - You are so right !!

DC= Directional Current - reverse poliarty - reverse rotation.
I'm with you 100 % now -

Hey guys,

Oh how time flies. I have flown this motor a few times but have had trouble getting props for it. It is in an 85" yak 54 from aeroworks. I hope to have this model at the arizona electric festival. I did not report enough info on this product as I should have, so I will try and get some more information for everyone.

To answer the above questions, there are two motors here, running opposite directions. They each have their own speed control, but both run off the same power. The rear prop mounts on the front of the front motor, and the front prop mounts on a prop adapter on the rear motor. There is a shaft that runs from the rear motor to the front of the system to transmit power.

Well - there it is.

Heavens 3DBatixkid, show us those props
