I am building a foam flyer B-2 Bomber type Delta wing. Pusher using an Emaxx GT2215 1100kv motor purchased here in the FT store. Before I placed my order I asked which prop I needed to use to make it fly... I was told to use a CCW prop, to which I ordered four 8" CCW props.
Well I finally attached the prop for the first time (numbers facing towards the nose of the plane), to test fire and check for thrust - and found that I need a clockwise prop, as I had NO thrust exiting the rear of the plane, but a nice breeze blew to the nose of my B-2!!
I can not remember the rotational direction of the motor, but I believe it was turning (as you look straight at the shaft, CCW)
This wing called for a 6" prop, but I decided to try the 8" as I hoped it would allow me a little easier learning curve.
Sorry for being so long winded - I think I answered my own question?? Do I need a CLOCKWISE prop??
Thanks in advance, to anyone that answers...
