Home Made DIY small engine starter. Will it work?

[@budparriott8054]

Wow, that Vintage Engine and Starter worked great, and that Amazing Goop made it simple and sweet..!

[@NightFlyyer]

Thanks Bud. Yep, I wouldn't have been able to do it without Goop, as I can really count on that stuff.

Receiving a vintage Small Engine nitro helicopter required a small engine starter, so I decided to build my own. Let's see if it works and how I did it.Thanks for watching and please subscribe to see what is next.

[@NightFlyyer]

Hi Robert. Thanks. It took me back too! :-)

[@DonDegidio]

Hi Dave, Wow, Missile Mist haven't heard of that for a long time. Those Cox engines were nice running engines. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. :-)

[@NightFlyyer]

Yep, only us old timers remember that for sure. Thanks for the comments.

Great vid love a cox engine ive just purchased a thunder tiger 12v high torque starter, what battery do u recommended for it ,i have a 12 v 2.2 amp batt but it seamed to runn out quick its new ,i never charger it new out of box could this be the problem or do i need higher amps thanks

[@NightFlyyer]

Those are big starters for .20's on up. It needs at least a 5 amp or higher battery to last any length of time. Thanks and hope you check out my other Cox videos.

Fantastic video Dave!!! Never a dull moment with your content.

[@NightFlyyer]

Your very kind. Thank you!

[@scottfirman]

I wish I had known about that as a kid. I can remember getting wacked a few hundred times by the prop as it popped backwards! Thats a great idea on a starter. I am currently looking for a cox free flight setup, if anything at least an engine. I should have grabbed that cox helicopter new in package at a flea market last spring. It was pretty cheaply priced. We had one fly away on us as kids, we figured it went in an oak tree out back of our house. We never did find it.

[@NightFlyyer]

Boy I remember the finger whacking too!!! Ouch! I remember those cox Helicopters. They did have a habit of flying away. Those engines brought a lot of us up over the years for sure! Hope you find one. Thanks.

[@BlackCrownRC30]

Im gonna try to make this work for my exceed rc 32cc

[@NightFlyyer]

Gonna need a bigger motor for that big of motor. Good luck.

Thank you David!

Hearing that Baby bee is exciting. Start digging tomorrow.

[@dewfall56]

I did not know about amazing Goop. Thanks Mr. Dave, I am going to get some and experiment with it. Hope the fumes don't make me loopy LOL. The maker should pay you for all the extra sales.

[@NightFlyyer]

Haha! Fumes aren't strong but goop is! You'll find many things I tell prove itself on. Thanks.

[@vishishtmehra1845]

Which motor can be used for starting a 46 size nitro engine?

[@NightFlyyer]

You will not find a better motor to start a .46 with than the Sullivan Starters. They and similar brands are the best for bigger motors, but they are overkill for small ones like this and can cause engine damage. Thanks much.

[@BOKI797]

NightFlyer Dave that was another interesting Video ! Your just Great ! Thanks for the Video !

[@NightFlyyer]

Thanks very much!

Rubber Magic Tape?

[@NightFlyyer]

It was called high temp tape in the military and sold as magic tape in our ace hardware store. It stretches tight and only sticks to itself.

[@7250dk]

Thank you.
