One hopes we all use "right" and "wrong" way as a humerous label!

Note that Igor's first helo spun the "wrong" way, can't say why it changed, but I'll check into it!

helinut, For what its worth, the BO-108 originally turned the "right way" but when EC took over Boelkow, they 108 became the EC 135 and it grew a fenestron and the rotor spun backwards!! Look up a net photo of the 108 to see!
