I was gonna say, flipping blades around sounds like work. I prefer swapping polarity.

And sorry to get your hopes up over the classic BMX film. In my defense, I don't think that would have been posted here, or have lasted long if it was.

I havent done it, but depending on the fan blade style dont you have to flip it when you reverse polarity for better flow?

Absolutely. If the fan has a curved blade like "(", just reversing the polarity will make the air flow over the top of the hump instead of 'scooping' it up. It's like trying to use a shovel upside down. My FAL fans were labeled to make sure you were using the right side. You can find some good pics here:
