I do both. Depends on what engine I am using at the time. Some of you will hand flip 0.049's, I use an electric starter. I hand flip my 4s engines. Finger over the carb or muffler, flip a couple times, hook up glow plug clip, flip backwards, they fire right up. Most of my engines are started with the starter. I have (2) 6 cell cars packs tie wrapped on them so I do not have the cords dangling around the prop.

I have 15% plane, 20% car, YS 20-20, 5%, 20% helicopter, 10% all castor fuel cans. I just put a $10.00 hand crank pump on each one. With the Dubro fuel can fittings, they stay pretty much air tight. Have had a can for 2 years and it still runs well.

We each find what we like. One field I fly at is just over 90 miles each way. I take a bunch of stuff. I hate to be there and not have a small thing that keeps my from flying a plane or helicopter. I also go camping/flying where I take a bunch of stuff with me. Then there are times I take a can of fuel, plane, Tx, glow plug clip and fly all day.

When all I flew was glow helicopters, I started to take just a small bag of tools, fuel, radio, helicopters. I could carry (2) helicopters, the tool bag, radio box in one trip. Simple can be nice too.
