ELEV-8 product picture shows props installed incorrectly.

The picture of the ELEV-8 on the product page shows one of the propellers (upper left in the image) going the wrong direction.

The image that appears on the front page has all the propellers going the wrong direction.

Two easy ways to remember the correct rotation;

1. The right front prop turns clockwise, as you go around the machine the direction of each alternates.

2. The inside blades on the front motors sweep forward, the rearward motors' inside blades sweep rearward.

    Almost...

    The prop at the upper left is still turning the wrong way.

    Yeah, we noticed that after we took a closer look at the second picture, which is the one in your second post. I don't think it is a deal breaker, due to the fact that the picture is not what is going to be used as an assembly guide. If the picture is used to put the Quad together, I think that more than just the props will be on the wrong way!!

    Both images in my second post show the same prop backwards. Obviously, few people will notice - or care. However it does seem plausible that a user may refer to one of those images to verify proper setup.
