[gjeffers...I'm with Cee Gee. I use a prop nut on every plane I have/had. Well, except the Yak. I use the Higley prop nut but mine are round, not cone shaped. They don't look too bad if you get used to it. I use the electric starter on all of mine. If you pull the rubber out of your starter you can but another one with a smaller hole that works just fine. In fact some starters haver the smaller hole on the other side. They work fine. You don't need to be a "chicken".
Thanks
