Default Quick Question

Which way does the throttle rotate on the Redline 53HX engine?

If you are looking at the engine from the front with the glow plug pointed up and the throttle arm is on the left side, which way does the throttle rotate for closed?

If you are looking at the heli from the left, the glow plug is pointed towards the nose of the heli and the crankshaft is pointing straight up with the throttle arm pointing towards the ground and rotates towards the nose of the aircraft and towards the tail.

the piece the throttle is connected to slides in and out of the carb a little if that helps.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jeff

Hi Jeff

If you look at the left side of the motor (exhaust port side), the carb rotor body that the throttle arm is attached to will rotate clockwise to close throttle and counter clockwise to open throttle. Have you got somebody in your area that can give your heli a once over before you attemt to start it? It is very important that your heli is setup mechanically & electronically correct.

Gavin
