I have not been flying long enough to understand some things. If someone can help me out here I could spend this thought processing on something more productive (I'm working on an "anti-rain dance").
1: Why can't you just reverse the direction on the motor and use normal props for a pusher? Seems like that would reverse the thrust in the same way a push prop does. I guess this works but I want someone else to tell me its ok before I throw something in the air like this and learn the hard way.
2: Why are all the prop-n-slot planes I see pushers? I can't see where this would matter too much. Maybe the pusher prop is better because it pushed into the plane instead of pulling away from it? Just for how easy it is to build and brace?
Thanks for your time. There will be many many more questions from me in the near future.
