ok, maybe this is gonna be a dumb question but not to sure.....when looking at the plane from the front which way does the engine turn to start it, clock wise or counter clock wise???? it is a tower .46

the engine will spin/run counter clock wise when viewed from the front, many 2 stroke engines like a good prime and a Back flip (clock wise from the front) to hand start, if your using an electric starter then it must spin the engine counter clock wise.

If you're planning to hand start, please use a chicken stick. Hope you have one handy

From the front, flip the top blade to the left!

yes i do have a chicken stick, i was turning it clock wise and it was firing and trying to run but would only run for a second and then spit fuel out of the carb, will they do that running clock wise????
