Hey,

This is not related to airplanes but it relates to parts of Gas/Nitro Planes.. I have been trying to find a easier way to start my Hpi Baja 30.5CC engine other than a Pull starter because I have had a small issue with my right hand and I find it painful to start the baja when it some times flood the engine.. So I saw this very easy way to start a baja from youtube!

the thing is I don't own a starter as the good man on the video uses but I can buy the Alu cone and the Plastic piece and i can use my electric drill as the starter that is not an issue but the problem is i have no knowledge about the Prop adopter that he has used to fit onto the flywheel I can not tell the size by just looking at the pic and couldn't figure it out from the Cone as well.... Can any of you guys please point me to a ebay link or anything that I can get the details for that prop adopter that is used on the FW

Thanks a lot!
 
I'm not sure if a battery-powered drill will have enough torque to turn over the motor. I would say go ahead and the full starter and battery combo.
 
Nop ill be using my 22v Ac drill with a inverter it has enough omph to start a VW engine :D
