Title: LA-5FN's engine?
Post by: Hans on October 29, 1999, 03:51:00 AM

Do real LA-5s props spin clockwise or counterclockwise from a position inside the cockpit?

Yakolev's spin them "backwards" aka counterclockwise...but do Lavochkins?

I don't hear Leonid in here saying much about Aces High so I assume that they do spin clockwise...but I figured I might just as well check anyways.

Hans.

Hans, I believe the Shvetsov engine spins in the more common fashion.  I other words, it spins opposite the Klimov that is used in the Yakovlevs.  I can confirm when I get home from work.
