Evidently C as BB pointed out in his most diplomatic way C the Rotax 912 swings a prop CCW.
Boyd made the distinction that this was "in pusher configuration". He was pretty diplomatic C too.
Therefore C here's how it looks to me; I have a GEO engine.....with a belt drive. It has a left turning prop. You have a GEO engine......with a gear drive. You will need a right turning prop.
It might be best to not look at it as "the same prop as a Rotax". In various configurations an engine will turn a prop different ways (as Boyd pointed out). What matters most is the universal
accurate rotation description........if you stand at the back of the plane C and you watch the prop spin C does it spin clockwise? If it does C then it is a right turning prop. If it spins CCW C then you got a lefty. So C in your case C you have the identical engine/redrive combo as Michael Sharp C and would need a right turning propeller.

I have no clue Mike, I have yet to install a prop or start the motor. But if I can get it clear in my head which prop I need, and then someone has that type of prop for sale with a price I can afford then I think I am going to buy it.
I may just email Vassily and have him tell me what prop I need, I am sure there will not be any questions after that. 
So far and correct me if I am wrong, my understanding is that a Rotax 912 prop will turn in the direction my Geo + SPG2 needs it to turn so I can in the direction its supposed to go.
