Flight instructor and student in a C152 at evb airport taxied on taxiway for takeoff and had a tomahawk aircraft make a go around over them. They apparently taxied off the runway, checked the pattern, then taxied on the runway again for takeoff and had the same event occur. Instructor believes that a bad transmitter or a stuck microphone caused the problem.

Narrative:
In a C152, I taxied onto runway 6 at new smyrna. A tomahawk was on low glide final. He flew over top us and went to a go around. Neither I nor my student heard any radio call. We taxied back for takeoff and the same event recurred. I had visually scanned and heard no call. I write to say that I believe there was a problem with a stuck microphone or bad transmitter. I also believe that the circling to final and low glide path caused us to fail to see the tomahawk. I will now call and ask for traffic on final to make themselves known before takeoff.
