Are the IVO prop blades able to be "reversed" with regards to direction of rotation (counter-clockwise to clockwise) and still provide thrust properly..? No. They have a pre-molded-in twist for right or left hand rotations. The extra twist (+ or -) via the cam does nothing to the pre-twisted root... just the outer 30% of the blades. Even if you flipped them over, they have an airfoil profile that will cease to be of any useful effect in generating full thrust... like flipping a wing upside down... just won't create the proper lift.

Yes it would be like mounting the left wing upside down on the right side and vice versa.
