This message was very strange.  I have a preview feature on my computer that lets me see incoming messages superimposed over the screen I’m working on.  Paul’s question was there on the preview screen but empty here.  I don’t get it…

For what it's worth the same thing happened to me.

The message didn't show up in Thunderbird, but in Kontact it does.  Anyway, 

here's his question:

Mine is on the right (2 O'Clock) as I look out the windshield.  An easy 

way is to stand in front of the plane like you are going to hand prop.  

Which feels the best?

Mine (and most I see) stop at the 2:00 position as  seen from the cockpit. This is convenient for hand propping if you're so  inclined.

FWIW, 10:00 when viewed from the cockpit.  If you ever want to hand prop it, that's the best position .... which is 2:00 when you're facing the prop.  It doesn't matter what the 'stopping' position is .... if you're propping it, you want the rising blade to pass through 2:00 when the impulse fires at TDC.  With the mags off (and a set of plugs removed is better) you can pull the prop through to see what position it's in when the impulse clicks.

Paul, the high blade will be at the 2:00 position when viewed from the 

cockpit (10:00 when facing the prop during a hand-start).

Ok I vote 2:00 when viewed from the cockpit.  In these planes you prop from the right side and want the prop up on that side.  That said, I have never needed to prop my plane but am used to seeing it in this position.

Paul,



It's 2:00 viewed from the cockpit.  I've propped many airplanes and  

that has always been the orientation.  I can't imagine trying to prop  

one by somehow twisting my body and flipping up on the prop.



The prop usually stops between compressions so as you pull down on  

the prop you will be going though a compression, which is what you  

want. The impulse coupler works on each and every compression.

Got it thanks folks...one of those things I just couldn't picture, because I've seen both, but couldn't remember what was "normal".

 I do ....and for the first 13 years I hand propped it before I got smart and put a battery and starter in it.  The clue is 'rising blade' that you didn't quote! ....at least I think I said that!  When you pull the 2:00 blade CCW, the impulse will fire when that blade is at 8:00 on the down stroke.
