    • Determine if the propellor is clockwise or counter-clockwise rotating.

    • Each arm is labeled with a rotation icon that shows the direction of propellor rotation.

    • If this icon is missing or you can't read it, you can determine the direction of rotation by examining the propellor.

    • A clockwise rotating propellor pushes air down while rotating clockwise, and the opposite is true for a counter-clockwise rotating propellor, and the propellor blade slopes up in the direction of rotation.

This guild will also largely work for the Phantom 3 (Adv./Pro) with the difference being that the phillips-head screws are T7s in the P3, and the 2mm Allen/Hex bolts are T8s.

Does anyone know what the size and thread pitch for the “2.0 mm hex bolts” are? I lost the screws and need a replacement.
