Title: Enya 53-4c Reverse Rotation
Post by: Martin Quartim on December 18, 2009, 09:27:11 PM

I have an Enya 53 4C but haven't had the chance to try it. Hopefully next year it will power a T-REX.

I found this link that shows how to set the Enya 53-4C for reverse rotation that I thought you guys would like to see:

Looks pretty easy to do.

If some one have been using one I'd appreciate some info about it.

Hi Martin,

Just out of curosity, is the purpose of reversing the rotation to allow you to use pusher props like the electric guys use, or is the purpose to use in a twin engine application? Just wondering?

                                                                                         Pat Robinson

Merry Christamas to you too Pat !

well one could use for a twin, it would be a bit heavy for my arms. I plan to try this one in a T-REX next year. APC and Zinger has Pusher 13x6 that should work well with it.

Hi Martin:

No matter what way you run it, you will love this engine. I had one in RC use for years and it is one  of the sweetest, most user-friendly engines I have owned. It would idle down to almost nothing and then take full throttle without a hiccup. I still regret selling it to a flying pal. I am a real fan of Enya engines, as you know. Amazingly reliable. Mine had the original Enya plug still in it when I finally sold it.

I am wondering if there is any where you can buy a Enya 53 at a discount? The last time I went looking for a Enya 53 4S I wound up buying a RCV 58. Our local HS has a control line Enya 53 but it’s way over three hundred dollars. I was hoping to find one in the two hundred dollar plus range.
