Hi,

Okay, so sounds like fuel consumption is acceptable and power is not a
problem.  What would be the difficulty, if any, to create a motor or
prop to spin in the opposite direction for counter-rotating purposes?
 Sounds like it would be a great engine to use in a pusher configuration
becuse of its small, round size and the extension caused by the PSRU.
 Have a great weekend and thanks for the help.

Not possible to make it run backwards.

Don't have to make it run backwards, just turn one engine around.

That's true Bob but the shaft is kind of puny on the accessory
end.
