Default RE: Suevia 25cc Glow engine Type 252


ORIGINAL: dennis

Be aware that that motor when idled for a period of time had the annoying habit of reversing it's direction when you advanced the throttle. It could be real interesting if it does it at the wrong time. I'm not saying it will do it every time but it has the potential to do it.The only other motor that I knew that did that was the Fox 09 and you didn't have to be at idle. It would burp and change direction.

My little brother Jerry acted as my pit crew during my Fox .09 control line powered days - or something like that.

We got it running once (not an easy starter). I ran to the center of the circle, picked up the handle, checked for direction and then nodded to my brother to release the model. He released the model, it rolled forward a little way and then the engine made a funny sound. After that the model was just squatting low to the ground with the engine madly flailing away. It had reversed itself. It only did it that one time.
