Chicken Stick
Need a backup or prefer a chicken stick vs. a starter how about this idea?
I can't take full credit for this idea as I used a similar chicken stick recently at our field. Only the way I made a couple sticks for myself. Purchase a 9" long 1/2" carriage bolt and cover it with 1/2" ID clear reinforced tubing. The tubing just slips on in place with a little pressure. The result is a chicken stick with good mass to flip the engine through with authority when starting. |

I use a cut-off golf shaft and grip. Nice feel and they have great cushioning. The full clubs cost a buck at the local Salvation Army store. Steel shaft or graphite...my score is the same. Ha Ha Rich

Isn't it kind of hard to play with the rest of the club?

RE: Chicken Stick
I cut off a length from a broom handle and wrapped it in electrical tape. I used that for probably 8-9 years. The only reason I stopped using it is a friend got a new lathe and he made us all chicken sticks as a project to practice on.

RE: Chicken Stick
Mine is just a chunk of 1/2" dowel with electrical tape wrapped around the grip.

RE: Chicken Stick
I made one from a dowle with a automotive hose pushed over it.

RE: Chicken Stick
mine is made out of a small bicycle hand bar grip, a wooden dowl, electrical tape and a rubber hose

RE: Chicken Stick
I use one of these. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXFU02&P=7 Not bad until it breaks but it's and easy fix with an appropriate dowel rod.

RE: Chicken Stick
I think I have a piece of one inch dowel in my flight box?? I have used it a time or two but not often. I also have a big leather glove in my box for gassers but don't use it often either.

RE: Chicken Stick
When I lost my chicken stick; I pulled a small branch from a tree. I used it for a good deal, until I got a new stick
