Tony H replied to Robert Beatty's discussion Can't get ArduCopter off the ground"The lettering should all be up (which is what you have). I'm saying the edge that the lettering is closest to should be the leading edge while the propeller is spinning. I'm thinking you may have a counter-clockwise propeller spinning…"
Tony H replied to Robert Beatty's discussion Can't get ArduCopter off the ground"On APC props, the lettering should be along the leading edge of the prop. I was thinking along the same line as Chris in that you have them mixed up."

If you don't have Solidworks, you can use Modo to render your CAD files.
