Edgeflyer Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Setting up my brushed 480 motors in a Multiplex Twinjet.I need APC ELECTRIC PUSHER PROPS 6X4 for a twin multiplex Twinjet with the motors running one CW when looking from the tail of the model IE at the prop. The other runs CCW . I can find reverse rotation but not normal rotation pushers. Any ideas where to get these or should I just run both motors in reverse?

Outrunner Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I used to run both motors the same direction using Gunther props on backwards for pusher mode on my Twinjet, worked well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a pusher on the motor that runs CCW and a normal prop on the one that runs CW (both rotations as seen from the drive end of the motor).

Edgeflyer Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 That's excellent thanks for your help. 2 of each type ordered to keep spares or options open. Well done Steve Webb! Cost less for four with post than a drive to a model shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgeflyer Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 Shaun Thanks for clarifying that. I assume the normal prop on the CW motor has to be put on the hub "backwards" so that it thrusts to the rear. I've never really used rear motors before!

leccyflyer Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 The lettering on the props faces forward, even on a pusher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
