[NSRCA-discussion] Starter

[Budd Engineering]

Hi Oscar,

I highly recommend the geared-reduction starters from Pacific  
AeroModel:  http://www.pacaeromodel.com/

I have the Portable Super Starter PAM-1002PPM, used it extensively  
when I flew glow, and I really liked it (still have it).  The frame  
below the starter that holds the batteries is made of painted plywood,  
you may want to fabricate your own (it's functional but devoid of any  
"bling" factor), and certainly you could configure it to use LiPo's if  
you wanted (mine had the NiMH batteries).  The starter is also  
available without the batteries so you can design your own support if  
desired.

At the time I bought the starter it came with a hard black rubber  
insert, which I immediately changed out to a clear silicone insert  
from Miller R/C, however it appears that the starter now comes with a  
silicone insert so maybe that's no longer needed.

I never had any problems with mine, but only used it to start  
inverted, highly compressed Webra 160's.  : )
