RE: AMT180 Converted to electric start.
Great Job Gary,
There is not a lot of magic in starting an engine with an electric motor. The way you did it is very simple and it works for you. For those who want it to be full auto, we have had AT-180 electric start engines for over a year. Our complete line has been available with full auto electric start. The price of the conversion is $850.00. It includes the latest generation ECU, Battery, Electric Start Hardware w/New Intake, and Labor. The start-up is done from the transmitter and the start-up and cool-down if fully auto.
We also have and brand new ECU and Engine Data Terminal. They were designed by Andy Low (Electro Dynamics). If you know Andy the owner of Electro Dynamics, His work is the highest quality and known throughout the industry as rock solid. Having Andy on our team has allowed us to take our electronics to an unparalled level in this industry. The new units will start shipping within the next 30 days. They have been field tested over the last couple months and have performed outstanding. With one channel operation they save you one more channel on your receiver for things like smoke and moving pilots. Contact the factory if anyone has any questions.
