Default RE: About glow starters

This hobbico glow starter, It doesn't really say what milliamp the C cell is. It wasn't 20 minutes...I did remove it as soon as engine started.
Well, I will try again tomorrow. Stuck the glow starter on its charger. I plan on just taxi'ing around to get the feel of "driving". Hell, all my electric aircraft are hand launched and belly landed. Talked to the local club instructor and he is gonna check the plane/engine for me before it flies. Actually, I'm gonna let him trim it out. I will fly it on a "buddy" cord. With electrics, you don't care if you crash a 5 dollar foam plane...just epoxy or pro bond it back together. However, I have a few "clams" invested in this one. I wanna make sure its solid before I take complete control of it.
