I need a prop for my Geo motor, but have not looked into the rotation direction if it's the same as a rotax. Bob Bean do you know if I can use his prop on my 1.3 Geo motor?

Depends upon which rotax...... It will turn the prop the same
direction as the four stroker 912,
CCW looking from the rear. Are you using gears or belt? G10 or G13?

Mike Sharp and I just had this conversation the other day.....namely; which prop do you need?
I have GEO 1 liter with Raven Redrives belt drive. This requires a LEFT turning prop (counter clockwise rotation)
If you have one of those SPG-2 gear drive units C then you'd need the same prop type as a Rotax 912....a right turning C clockwise rotation prop. But if you have the belt drive like I have C then you're looking for a left turning prop.

on a Kolb, behind the prop facing front. It is easy to get messed up because industry definitions are not uniform.The likely reason is that until our category became popular tractor configurations were the norm.
I wanted to offer a prop for Thom Riddle to experiment on his Rans/912 but he immediately reminded me of
the minor problem. He sure could taxi backwards fast though.
Be VERY certain when you buy a prop though or you will be paying some extra UPS fees.

Stand where it's windy, and look at the top of the prop. If it moves to
the right, is a RH prop, and vice versa.

The MkIII I have had been bent up pretty good before I bought it and it had a 912 on it.I got the 70" 3 blade WD prop that was attached and somehow survived the event as part of the package.
I turned the right direction for my suzuki but was too much prop. I bought a two blade hub which much closer
matched my horsepower.

Okay just to clarify, I rather everyone agrees, that the prop to my 1.3 liter with the SPG-2 uses the same prop as the 912 Rotax, is that right????

On the 912 series, in pusher configuration (like on the Kolb) you need a left hand turning prop. I.e. top of the prop viewing from behind the plane moves to the left.
My WD is a left hand pusher.... Also keep in mind its bolt pattern is for the 912 prop flange with the mounting lugs installed (has the countersunk holes on the back half of the hub...

I recieved a reply from my friend with the P-5151 using the 1.3l Geo, which is the engine that We are using on our Kolbs...
He said: "for the 4cylinder Geo, and facing the front of the aircraft, and looking at the flywheel, the prop will be left turning"
He is using a belt reduction drive, so His prop turns the same direction as the flywheel. Unless there is a tear in subspace, which would cause a rift in the time space continuem... then we are screwed!
Not sure if that helps or confuses us more... LOL

That's good I got Vassily's gizmo. That makes it lots easier just get the Rotax 912 prop, is all I got to remember.

Ron,
Mike Sharp and I just had this conversation the other day.....namely; which prop do you need?
I have GEO 1 liter with Raven Redrives belt drive. This requires a LEFT turning prop (counter clockwise rotation)
If you have one of those SPG-2 gear drive units, then you'd need the same prop type as a Rotax 912....a right turning, clockwise rotation prop. But if you have the belt drive like I have, then you're looking for a left turning prop.

I know what I am going to do, is ask Vassily.
There ain't no ambiguity there.

I don't know I was painting the house all day in the hot sun, and now I just finished a Heineken so I am kinda already numb from all of that prop stuff, is it turning to the east or the West or is it north or south.
All I want to hear is if a Rotax prop of the 912 variety is the proper one or not. I once tried to get it straight on how to return the comb lock where the dial faces out on the gate after I have the U lock open. Geez finally I just started to put the dial facing out and locked it. In other words the "keep it simple stupid" is the one that works best for me.

I recieved a reply from my friend with the P-5151 using the 1.3l Geo, which is the engine that We are using on our Kolbs...
He said: "for the 4cylinder Geo, and facing the front of the aircraft, and looking at the flywheel, the prop will be left turning"
Â
He is using a belt reduction drive, so His prop turns the same direction as the flywheel. Unless there is a tear in subspace, which would cause a rift in the time space continuem... then we are screwed!
Â
Not sure if that helps or confuses us more... LOL

Ron,
I did that too..
Here is what he said:
Hi Mike,
Â
If it is a pusher - clockwise (right hand rotation) prop. If a tractor - counterclockwise (left hand rotation) prop.
Â
If you want a good tested and efficient prop, I'll send you one, look http://www.airtrikes.net/propellers.shtml
Â
Best regards,
Â
Vassili Tarakanov,
Mike

That means mine wont' work. Mine is a _left_ hand pusher (standing at tail looking a prop, the top blade moves to the left - rotates CCW).
Rotax isn't innocent on this either by the way. For reasons uknown, the 2-strokes spin their prop flange the other way than the 912... so the props aren't interchangeable pusher-to-pusher, tractor-to-tractor......
