OK. Sycamore says that co-rotating props all go in the same direction. Do we all agree with that?

I have to say that the feeling I get from feedback is that the JAA think otherwise. Anyone know of a definitive reference?

Incidentally, the asymetric blade effect occurs when the flightpath and prop axes are not in line, usually at low speed and therefore high alpha, as well as with tail draggers on the early takeoff roll. Climbing doesn't come into it.
