I had the same thoughts about backwards gliding at idle speed, I have never heard of a single engine piston prop reversing, except on a Lake Amphibian where it makes sense, not on a STOL.

@kazakhpilot In case you misunderstand what I am saying kazakhpilot, I'm calling you out!! I am saying right here, right now that this video is a fake. No aircraft is going to back up in reverse thrust at ground idle on skis. Go ahead and prove me wrong. I Googled Zenair 701 reverse prop and the only thing I could find were links to this video that have been posted all over the place. Nice try buddy!!

@kazakhpilot Fine, what is the manufacturer of the prop...what engine config are you running...
-
@brainmaker I presume the prop pitch adjusts enough to permit the reverse thrust. Obvious disadvantage (to me at least!) is accidental potential for reverse thrust whilst flying leading to mishap.

What hub, and prop gov does this 701 use?

thats sick

You've been had!! An aircraft backing up under reverse pitch doesn't move at engine idle. You need power to get it to move especially on skis. Odds are it is a trick of the camera and the slope of the ground causing the aircraft to slide downhill. The pilot would have needed to go into reverse pitch and pull a fair bit of power to back up. Nice trick video thou...
