They use to crank cars by hand, but not for the last 70 or so years.

Too funny...



I use a field box with the starter connected to the power panel. Why the concern about the wires? I'm in FRONT of the plane with it tied down and the box is behind me. The starter is stretched so that the wires are not even close to the prop.

I use a battery powered glow plug igniter but if it is drained I have one that is connected to a battery. I place the battery behind the wing so those wires are not close to the prop either.

I have a 'chicken stick' in the box but have not used it.
