RE: STARTING A FA 220
I have a Saito FA 220 Golden Knight Installed on Hangar 9 Cessna 182 ( the big one). The engine initially ran fine. Had 28 flights with no problems at all. My starter motor a Kavan from Hobby Lobby shorted due to age. I have tried the other Hobbico, and Hangar 9 normal starters and they do not have enough power to move the prop and slips the metal spinner. I have been tried to start the engine several times flipping the prop by hand with a glove which is painful no success. It is painful starting by hand and sometimes does not start. Please help me what brand starter is suitable to start easy my Saito FA 220 engine. I cannot afford the cost of the Megatech Starter. Thanks
