Default RE: Gas engine starting

You can make your own electric starter using a small starter from a snowmobile or outboad or anything with a 12 volt system. Just add the cone and a switch. If you want to get fancy...build a stand for starter so the center is level with center of you prop spinner. With a foot switch you can start your engine just by wheeling plane over to it and shove plane so spinner engages cone. Hit the foot switch and away she goes.
