You hand start guys kill me! flip flip flip flip, cuss, adjust, flip flip flip, cuss, adjust, flip flip flip...

I just stick the glow driver (Ni Starter) on my OS 1.60, put the starter to the nose and push the button... I'm in the air before most of the guys that hand start are even running.

Seriously, I agree with the statement that there is a difference in what is required for a hand start as opposed an electric starter. You need the extra power of a field battery and panel powered glow driver to the glow plug for hand starting, that is a fact. Most of the guys that I fly with the hand start are using the little drivers, and I think that is why they have so much trouble.
