RCU Forums - Align Starter

Align starters : these things are the ducks guts of starters. I am using a Lipo 2150 20c battery have only had to charge after about three flyingdays . eg Flying once a week over three weeks.
Two thimgs 1. Had to purchase the adadpter for planes seperate $ 39 aus . Would be good if sold as a set with the starter.
2. Battery very tight to get in and out. A charge point on the side of the starter would make this thing a gem............

9 out of 10 IMO luv it Starting Trex 600 pro and Planes nitro up to sato 86 four stroke ...................no probs haven't tried on big planes yet but don't think it would be a problem.

Hang on one of the guys at the feild had it throwing a 160 nitro no probs

Has any one had problems with hydrolic lock when starting their nitro Heli ? Ok flying Trex 600 nitro the first flight of the day. Fuel up both fuel lines closed, open fuel lines hit the glow plug go to start and I get a fuel lock. Have to loosen the glow plug run the starter blow out excess fuel, tighten glow plug then push the glow button start it up and fires. I am running the remote glow, have tried differant starting process but seem to always get a lock on first flight. The motor is a os50 all standard align gear. The motor is probally about 20 flighs old still running a bit rich so nice smoke trail for run in, run 18% nitro with syntheic oil. Starts fine after first flight .
