morning Deluxe. Yes the Pietenpol is the same direction as the A and all other motor car engines and the English aeroplane engines but not the American aeroplane engines with the exception of the turbine garret. P&W,Lycoming and continental all rotate anti clockwise, ie oppersite to all these other engines, cheers, gary
