embarassing question

Post by Mike Bourget »

'Hi fellas.... I'm mortified...my prop manufactorer wants me to confirm
rotation direction (from Pilot seat prosective) on my 440... but all
my manuals and stuff are at the hangar.

So rather than make a mistake,,, I'm asking the question

The Ranger rotates in the conventional direction for US piston engines,
i.e., clockwise when looking forward from the pilots seat.

What kind of prop are you getting?

'You had better forget that prop manufacturer if he doesn't know that the
Ranger is an American Aircraft engine, I recommend Sensenich at Plant City
Fl.

Ask for Don, or better yet check out all experienced prop people at Sun&Fun
next week.
