Default RE: DLE 55 electric starter

Hi, Chris. Mike here. We met at the Flying Heritage Collection a few weeks ago. I have one of these starters on a DLE55 in a TF GS P-47. I use a 1800 mah 3S LiPo that will give 150+ starts on a charge. I was able to remove ALL of the nose weight. If you put the battery up front ahead of the firewall, you should be able to lose all of your ballast.
