Default RE: how do you start a ryobi?

I use a standard duty 12 volt starter, make sure your battery is fully charged.

If you don't have electronic ignition, you won't get it to spin fast enough to generate enough spark with a chicken stick.

Choke it till it pops, then put choke on half, after it runs 30 seconds or so, choke off .

Break it in with a 16/6 prop, use 40/1 oil to gas (ryobi Recommedation)
the engine can handle props from 16/6 to 20/6

I use an 18/8 on my Stinger 120, video at www.macs-rc.com/video/stinger.wmv

I get my props from a local hobby shop and from tower hobbies

Good luck it is a good engine.
