I think Steve has given you all the required good information. A good field box with a starter panel is in order if you are going flying. You will be surprised at how much you will want to carry around. All engines are counter clockwise running unless specifically ordered as a clockwise engine usually used on twin engine models. A decent starter will plug into panel and save allot of heartache. I have a motorcycle batteray 12Volt in my box and I can start just about anything and also field charge my reciever batteries or ingnition batteries. Definatly have an experienced pilot with you for your first flight. Good luck ,Ray
