Regular & Reverse Grip

Regular and reverse grip work is used here to tighten up fan control and keep your planes clean. Nikki Scarano breaks down hand placement on a tech grip fan, including finger positioning in the ring and how the pointer finger supports stability and directional accuracy.

You’ll compare prop orientation in regular versus reverse grip, noting how the fan’s curve and outer edge face relative to your centre line. Use this as a foundational drill for switching grips deliberately, maintaining consistent alignment, and preparing for reverse-direction pattern work.
