 |  On Board Electric Start - ZDZ 80
Gentlemen I have a dream of walking up to my Extra (which I use as an aero-tow tug), turning on all of the switches, plugging in a battery, placing my legs on either side of the fuselage in front of the stab, pushing a button and having the engine start. Any ideas as to how I should go about installing an on board electric start system on my ZDZ 80 so that I can realize my dream? Gudmund |

Wouldn't that add a TON of weight?

Whats the bling bling factor worth Sleepy. If the guys is using his extra for a glider tug then I would say without doubt he aint looking to do worm burning rollers on the deck with it. Would be a nice toy in that case I think. Kiwi |

I wasn't trying to be rude.... i was just curious! It would be cool to do like the turbines... and just hit a button!

| Re: On Board Electric Start - ZDZ 80 http://www.hobby-lobby.com/fema.htm I am sure that with a little ingenuity you could adapt one for a G62 to work with the ZDZ. I have seen a video of a P-51 with an onboard starter. The plane had two taps on the underside and the person would attach one of the self contained jumper packs to it and then flip a switch on the transmitter. He did not have to have the weight of a battery on board, but you could go either way, depending on how much weight you are willing to add. Trey |
