Someone got the propellor blades all crossed up though. Otherwise an interesting plane.
No thats why the plane had problems flying originally
You sure they weren't count rotating?

There's a couple in the first post Peter.
Dave, I believe he was pointing to the fact that the model was built with each propeller having blades facing different directions. Bob, they were counter-rotating. Compare to this image:

In the above photo look at the closest prop. Three of the blades go one direction and the 4th blade is going the other direction :smack . Whoever built the test shot got their blades crossed.

Had a phone fart :stinker so removed the duplicate.
Wow, good thing it's just a test shot! Looks like they just got the blades mixed up, looks like some blades are for the other prop.
Just making a silly joke
