Hi everyone,

In a process of getting a new Hirth F33 engine I am left with a beautiful 58x36 2 blade hand crafted propeller.

However, it was built for a Rotax 447 (CCW rotation viewed from the cockpit) and since Hirth has a belt drive, provided the engine crank spins in the same direction, I am in deep trouble and unable to use said propeller.

Can anyone confirm that now I also need a new propeller?
