Default Re: you are correct, which is the reason why you can run the DBA rotors backwards...

Ok, that's fine, but is that in defense of what Lind$y said or just agreement with my statement?....not really sure. Facts are the DBAs are non-directionally vented. I think we are clear on that. From this we can uunderstand that they can be installed in either direction. But, according to Lind$y he points the blame for poor rain performance on backwards/incorrect slot direction on slotted rotors. Are you saying installing backwards from DBA's recommended installation will yield better rain performance? I'm just trying to clear it up for myself because DBA explicitly states their recommended direction is designed to maximise expelling water, and I think there may be some confusion on this on my part.
