Turbobeaver:
thanks for the reminder. A couple years ago I bought a starter cone designed to go on my drill. I quite using it cause it didn't have the RPM's to start my old enya's. Wound up buying an old slyvan pylon starter. I'll see if I can re-locate it here in the near future.

PS how big of a spinner am I gonna need for a 16x8 prop anyways? Is 3" enough or do I need something in the 4" range?
