What program are you using?

Unless you have counter-rotating props, you don't want to mirror the props..

Just make a copy (clone) of the part and translate the copy to the negative x coordinate (you show a right-side prop, which is the positive x coordinate).

In FSDS - CTRL-C, CTRL-V, F2 (and make the x coordinate negative)

In gmax - -
Edit->Clone
go to move mode
press F-12
insert a minus sign on the x coordinate,

This was made in proengineer.  I can mirror some stuff over a quardinant plane but their is a fault in the program where it wants me to redraw the entire prop.  And even when I did that it still didn't work :-[

I would venture to say that there's some command/feature in your program that you haven't come across yet....
