Keith, I just looked at the pitch blocks for my UltraProp and it does appear that you can simply rotate the pitch blocks 180 degrees in the hub and have the...
I just took a picture of the shape of an Ultra Prop. Then I made a diagram to show what would happen if you reversed the pitch blocks. It would be like...
