Of course, you have to fuel up the tank on the plane, prime it, one way is to open the throttle all the way, put your thumb over the carb opening, and turn the prop several revolutions until you can see the fuel flow into the carb. Set the throttle to slightly above idle, place the glow driver on the glow plug, and turn the engine over as DR1 stated above. The main point is to keep your hands/fingers away from the prop as you start it. Thus the reason for a chicken stick or electric starter motor.
