RE: Homemade starter
While were at it, why stop at just a starter? Heck, one could even create a receptacle inside a hatch on the fuse to where you could flip the lid, clip on the battery and charge the Rx or Tx battery a little between each flight [8D]. Glow starters and fuel pumps anybody? make an attachment for them too!
