Eastcraft Electric Starter for Quadra
I have a complete Eastcraft electric starter for a Quadra engine. It was in my Byron P51 but I took it out. I have someone who is interested in it and I don't know what it's value is. I am not looking to rape anyone and I don't want to give it away. I want to sell it for a reasonable price that is all. I know that the starters are not available anymore but I also know that people are not beating down the doors to buy one for a quardra. I just want to sell it for a price that works for both me and the buyer. Any help would be appreciated.

RE: Eastcraft Electric Starter for Quadra
Fred Eastman came out with the starter somewhere about 1980, I can't remember exactly. I sold Quadra engines then, and the starter was quite a fad. But - there were many problems, so in the end it, wasn't worth the effort to install it. The asseembly added about three pounds to the airplane - for what? Engines are easy to start, so other than a realistic start, it didn't offer much. Back then the battery pack was very heavy - maybe todays batteries would solve that problem. Anyway - I think they sold new for about a hundred bucks. Take fifty, and be glad that you got rid of the thing, as it is a worthless piece of junk that only fits an engine that is seldom seen anymore.
Eastman has so many problems that he didn't take care of - it didn't take long for them to go out of business.
