Gary I suspect you are or are getting ready to fly the RC Pro warbird races with your 110 here in AZ. Anyway You can use the cheapest of starters and you do not have to go the geared starter route.

For that particular engine especially in the racing environment where everything has to be right with one minute to start your engine and get airborn voltage is king! I recomend running your starter at 16.8 volts, this increases starter RPM dramatically and is exactly what your 110 needs. The cheap starters handle the voltage just fine. Sometimes the very cheapest the switch contacts will burn and stick so its simple to replace the switch externally with an automotive starter switch. If you use the heavy duty switch the starter becomes a two handed starter. You should never start your 110 single handed, that engine demands your respect especially when running short stack and very high nitro fuels.


Here are my starters all using two Seven cell packs wired in series The two larger ones I put together specifically for the 91 and 110 YS's and they are ideal. The mondo has 5000 Nimh packs and the smaller just 1600 to 3000Nimh

I do not use Lipo because my starters are always being borrowed and there is no way to track usage to avoid dumping the batteries to much and destroying them.
