Matt,
I don't like using a starter at all but sometimes its better to swallow the pride and fly. I really like to have things adjusted properly and use the backflip. So when I resort to the starter I hear about it from my fan club. Pete Cosky always comes over and inspects my spinner to look for telltale starter marks so I polish my spinners on a regular basis to keep him shut up. Then he shows off hand starting his YS140.
Are you using a choke servo or just a rod? Have you considered using a starter and doing away with the choke all together?
Could there be any potential damage done to the motor using a starter? Any shortening of life of the motor?
Thanks for the help,
Rick
Rick,
I can't stand to use a starter. I've had to resort to it too, but I can't stand it when I do. Old school I guess.
I have been using the choke manually but do have my new model set-up for servo actuation.
I am in the finishing stages of retro -fitting the SAP in my old Temptress. I'll post some photos
