OK, I'll be the first to go against the flow! [:-]Yes, you can use a drill if it has enough power. I have used my DeWalt 18v cordless drill to start up to 100cc gas engines. You can buy the Sullivan cone with the rubber insert you need for your particular spinner for under $20. Use a 1/4x20 bolt and locknut for the stud to chuck in your drill. Remember to set the drill to counterclockwise (reverse) and fire it up! A caveat: make sure you have someone hold the plane for you, it is more unwieldy than a starter designed for RC engines.

That being said, I would also recommend purchasing a dedicated starter for RC. In a pinch, the drill will definitely work, it is just not as convenient.
