RE: Can you start engine with a drill?
Hobbico starter 90 deluxe 27.99 Two 7.2v 3300mah batterys from radio shack 20.00 plus ends 5.00 K&n battery holder from tower hobbie 14.00 I already had a charger this gives me plenty of power to start all my planes and I have no cords to get caught in the prop. Also easy to take to the flight line if the engine quits. You can also check at your local Hobby Shop to see if they have a used starter that someone traded in, or they are selling for someone. I see this alot at the shop I use as people upgrade, or move out of the planes and into Helis. I have 3 starters now, sullivan panel ready, sullivan 12v alligator clips and the hobbico converted to portable. I loan out the sullivan with A clips to newbies to help them KEEP their fingers, all I ask is that when the oppertunity comes that they can help someone with some sort of loaner that they do. Examples {props,starter, fuelline or even fuel} Have borrowed a gallon of fuel before when the flying was great and the hobby shop closed. Purchased and replaced with the same as borrowed.
