I've got a Goldberg Pitts Model 12 Monster bipe with an OS 1.60FX. The starter I had when I bought this plane was a Hangar 9 12v with a Powercore battery pack. This starter, fully charged, will crank the engine maybe twice. So, I bought a Hobbico Torquemaster 180, thinking it would be stronger. I'm powering it off my field battery (12v gel) through the power panel, and it STILL wont crank it. My question is, can I cure this problem by going to a garden tractor type battery, or am I just going to have to bite the bullet and buy a Sullivan Dynatron or something along that line? Before anyone says "why not just flip start it", nope, dont want to get my fingers in line with that carbon fiber prop.
