Hmmm, well, I don't know how you got stuck in this one but, the subject
line
has always been about the direction of rotor blade rotation how that
effects the flight characteristics of the model. I don't remember
anything
about the model you mention here but this one's gone on long enough that
that probably doesn't mean much! ;-)
Good luck,
Steve R.
