Joker94,

The only engines that I use an electric starter on are .049 and smaller. All others are started using a chicken stick.

Glow fuel engines, 2 and 4-stroke, are started by bumping the prop against the rotational direction. Here are the basic steps:

1. Prime the engine.
2. Rotate prop clockwise untill compression is felt. Rotate a few degrees back.
3. Attach glow driver.
4. Using a chicken stick, bump against the compression. The engine should fire and keep running.

IMHO more model engines have been ruined by electric starters than crashes.
