flywatcher; I suggest that you think very carefully about the main thrust re
ExFSO Groffo's post.
hold off bank in a gliding turn and you will surely crash and burn." I believe it related to the fact that the Austers, Tigers and Chipmunks all had Gypsy engines turning back to front from modern engines.
What he was alluding to was the your proposition that the aforementioned engines rotating in the reverse to modern engines may have some significance.
The proposition is false! The direction of rotation of the engine has no significance! Or, as
Griffo puts it; BS!
Griffo; I really wonder how many posters on this thread really are Pilots, let alone have CPL's!
And for reference; The old saying amongst WWII RAAF Pilot trainees went;
I saw him crash, I saw him burn! He held off bank in a Gliding turn!
