      I still have to unbox my Tcat too many things going on right now plus my workbench has my Cessna on it. I'm doing some painting on it.

          Which direction should the props turn on my Flightline f7f Tigercat?

            In general... with counter-rotating prop top blade moves toward center.

            This makes you need less thrustline offset to compensate for single-engine-out.

            Notable exception is the P-38, which has an interaction of propwash with the tail that makes it need props to turn the opposite direction.
            FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.

            current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

              The Tigercat is using the same power system as the P-38, the props rotate outwards.

                Same power plant has little to do with prop rotation. Rotation is basically the pilots choice.
                My Tiger turned as fhh indicated......inboard and the Lightning outboard.;)

                  Yeah yeah, I know. You can reverse the motor wires and spin it the other direction. Thing is the real Tigercat does NOT have counter rotating props so your setup is just as wrong as they way it comes.
