Question about CW & CCW

I bought a ARTF ZMR 250 kit and it came with motors that have CW & CCW (threads) prop shafts on them. What I'm wondering is do I put the motors with the CW shaft (threads) on the arms that are suppose to be CW or do they go on the CCW arms?

My guess would be they go on the arms like I stated above.....but I'm known to be wrong.

Thanks....Tom
 
This took me a min to work-out, but I think I got your question…

So your CW props will screw and lock-on in a CCW direction. That way, when the motor spins in the intended CW direction, the blades don't loosen and extricate themselves from the vehicular area!

And the vice versa is true for your CCW props on your CCW motors (they'll screw-on in a CW direction. Centripetal force looks after keeping them secured!)
 
Left hand threads go where CW motors go and right hand threads go where the CCW motors go. To verify loosen up your nut and hold it in place, then rotate the motor the direction it will be turning when you use the quadcopter, if it tightens down then you are placing it correctly.
 
Ok, thanks for the help guy's!

It's just one of those things if you think about for to long it get more confusing, but I got it now.
