Klotz is synthetic - not real - just checked their site - I think they might have a real castor but I can't find it on their site, ebay or hobby sites yet - still looking
I have a lot of RC engines that are Steel/Cast Iron metallurgy so I prefer to use the real castor like SIG sold until recently. The Klotz synthetic is great for the Chrome/aluminum or other metals.

You can get degummed castor at any motorcycle shop. I get mine at Cycle Gear.

Hercules drill from Harbor Freight!
I found a cordless drill that works great as an airplane engine starter. It's the Hercules drill from Harbor Freight Tools. It's a 20v lithium ion battery drill that puts out 570 in lbs (42 ft lbs) of torque and the high speed turns at 2000 rpm. Just as powerful if not more powerful than my electric drill.

I've had some success with bumping it but for some reason if it's already been running it never likes to flip start back up. The drill works great for that. For a while I was only using the drill to prime it and flipping it to start it. I just started making my fuel 5% Nitromethane and that seemed to make a big difference from the 0%. It idles better and starts easier. Also seems to run at higher rpm at full throttle.
