    Raboesch reverse their props direction

    In the past the ship propellers of Raboesch were always reverse delivered. An official right-side propeller was always delivered by Raboesch as a left-side propeller. We have decided to correct this.

    In the illustration given below you can see the propellers, as they will be delivered from now on. For you this means that when placing new orders you will have to keep this in mind. If for example you were to order a right-side propeller then you will get the propeller, which previously was called the left-side propeller.

    On another forum, this was posted. Maybe it applies here as well.
    "Here's a little info on props: the European standard of prop rotation views the vessel from the BOW and the American standard of prop rotation views the vessel from the STERN. The Raboesch 162-22 is billed as a LH (left hand) propeller, but they use European. That makes it an American RH rotation, which is what the XXIII used.

    To clarify all this, an American standard RH prop, when viewed from astern, rotates clockwise to move ahead and counter-clockwise when reversing."

    For what it is worth.

    If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.
