Precision Eagle

It will have more power than the same engine on gas and burn at least twice as much fuel.....It will start just like a small glow motor.........Glow plugs last a long time......

And since it's a side port engine it'll run backwards as well as it does forwards. I recall at a past TOC, that someone's glow engine was idled down and it kicked and started running backwards. When he throttled up the plane tried to fly in reverse.......for a very short while.

Correct..Chip Hyde used to do that with his plane and taxi it backwards into the parking spot....
