Engine starting without spinner
Ok, when I get my SE5A finished, obviously it wont have a spinner for scale appearance. So how would I crank it with my electric starter?

RE: Engine starting without spinner
No, no, at first I thought there was supposed to be some sort of connector on the other end of the spindle at the BACK of the starter and I said "Wait a sec, I never saw anything on the back" but then I had a "duh" moment and remembered seeing a hole/slot sort of setup on the bottom of the cone and realized what you meant.
Good thing I did, cause I was about to start drilling holes in the back of my starter.
I don't think it would have worked though.
Thanks again,
Pete

They also make different starting cones with different holes in them. I use some of those when I don't use a spinner. Sometimes on the larger ones, the starter cone gets stuck on the nut and comes out when it starts, and then the engine throws it.

Sullivan makes a neat gadget- Bare Prop Adapter No. S635. This is an insert for your starter cone with fingers to contact the propeller blades directly. Go to http://www.sullivanproducts.com and click on Starter Inserts.
