Hi folks,
My apologies but I’m a complete n00b and need to ask some very basic questions about props. My brain just isn’t grasping these most basic concepts.

I’m currently going to be using a Rotax 582 with a B gearbox with 2.58 to 1 gear ratio in a pusher configuration on a Brock KB2 gyroplane. (My previous plans for a Kolb ultralight didn’t materialize and I bought the gyro instead.)

Looking at the Rotax from the tail, what direction does it spin, clockwise or counterclockwise in a pusher configuration?

And what orientation propellor do I need for this application, a clockwise (right) or counterclockwise (left) prop?

Again, please excuse me for such a basic simple question, but my mind just isn’t grasping this yet.
