Ah. Got it. Then, I suggest that you fly it first without ANY of the FPV gear in it. It would be a real shame to nose it in and destroy all that equipment. Once you get it flying well, then add ballast until you get up to the total weight of all the FPV gear. That way, if things go suddenly south, it doesn't cost you any major expenses. Good luck and please take videos to share as you go along. We all enjoy seeing each others progress.

It was not how you asked your question,it was how I misinterpreted it. As for you original question of which side port or starboard... again I would guess that since most single engine planes have a tractor prop and want to turn to the right wouldn't a dual engine plane have the pusher on the right (starboard) to counter the pull from the left (port) engine? Or maybe the action of turning to the right is due to the motor rotation and not the prop angle? What do full size dual engine planes have? |

Not sure where I came up with this (read it on here somewhere I think) but I believe the prop on a twin, as a blade comes over TDC, that blade should be heading toward the fuse. This applies to either engine.

Twin engine prop rotation - a suggestion that the blade at the top of its rotation is heading to wards the fuselage - why? To keep grass stains to a minimum. Rotating the other way (bottom blade rotating towards fuselage) picks up all the grass and "paints" the fuselage - when landing on grass.
Also a good suggestion to use opposite rotation on pushers to tighten the prop nut. I've had mine come loose - wondered why I'd lost power. Still spun the prop - but only just. |

Yep.
Here it is for those of you who Tweet. I'm assuming it will be a new version copying some of the EasyStar II features but who knows. |

If your prop did come loose it's because: 1. You need to go to the gym, it wasn't tight enough, 2. You're using the wrong size collet adapter. 3. The props hub was too thin and the threaded part of the adapter bottomed out in the cone before it was tight enough. (add a washer) 4. Prof loosen it while you were in the port-a-potty as a joke, (He's bad for that.) Don't blame it on the way the motor turns. The prop doesn't have enough mass to cause that, especially a 6x4. |
