RE: starting problem???
Is it a cone start or does it just look like a rod sticking up? If its just a rod then you probably need something like the TNT starter shaft but make sure before you go buy something. I'd just find out the start shaft OD, find a 6mm hex start coupler thats compatible, and convert it to hex start.
Do you have a picture or info on what kind of heli we are talking about here?
