Gilles,
Funny you should ask... I've gone back through my notes and the
answer is unclear. I think I remember the correct answer, but I do
not want to provide anymore incorrect information on the subject of
Rotax engines.
Let me confirm the answer on Monday and I'll post it as soon as I can.
BTW, if you want to see one of the possible consequences of someone
turning your prop backwards, go to:

Or, if that URL becomes scrambled in the transmission, go to:
