I have a complete Eastcraft electric starter for a Quadra engine. It was in my Byron P51 but I took it out. I have someone who is interested in it and I don't know what it's value is. I am not looking to rape anyone and I don't want to give it away. I want to sell it for a reasonable price that is all. I know that the starters are not available anymore but I also know that people are not beating down the doors to buy one for a quardra. I just want to sell it for a price that works for both me and the buyer. Any help would be appreciated.

Fred Eastman came out with the starter somewhere about 1980, I can't remember exactly. I sold Quadra engines then, and the starter was quite a fad. But - there were many problems, so in the end it, wasn't worth the effort to install it. The asseembly added about three pounds to the airplane - for what? Engines are easy to start, so other than a realistic start, it didn't offer much. Back then the battery pack was very heavy - maybe todays batteries would solve that problem. Anyway - I think they sold new for about a hundred bucks. Take fifty, and be glad that you got rid of the thing, as it is a worthless piece of junk that only fits an engine that is seldom seen anymore.

Eastman has so many problems that he didn't take care of - it didn't take long for them to go out of business.

Mike- I've acquired a plane that came with Zenoah G-38 and eastcraft starter. Don't think it's been used (plane is framed up but uncovered) and I'm likely to pull it out. If still interested and will work for you, let me know.
