I would get an electric starter; however, if you can't right now the AX series can be hand started pretty easily with some experience. If you try to hand start USE A CHICKEN STICK, NEVER FINGERS!! Most people who try to hand start don't prime the engine enough. If you have flipped the engine three times without it starting something is wrong and you should go back and make a correction. Continuing to flip without changing anything is almost always futile.

Open the throttle fully and seal the carb with your thumb. Rotate the prop until you've seen fuel entering the engine for a few rotations. If the engine is inverted, your thumb should be moist. Lower the throttle to idle and flip a couple of times without the glow igniter attached. Make sure the plane is secured and light the plug. Give it a few flips and it should start. If it doesn't start there are really only three (likely) possible issues. Bad glow plug, no fuel, or too much fuel. If the engine is flooded it will be much more difficult to flip through compression. If it's not flooded try a little more priming.
