I did this video back before the pandemic and before the bacterial infection in my spine .. a lot of links and some information is out of date .. I never liked the brushed motor on the EME electric start or the relay controller for it.
Back in early 2024, I started working on using a brushless motor but couldn't find anything that fits the EME bracket .. one reason for getting the CNC machine is so I can prototype or make small parts .. while the machine I got can't really machine aluminum in its stock form, with the upgrades I've gotten for it, light aluminum machining should be possible.
After my accident getting a finger into the back of a prop on August 7th of 2022, I'm not sure I want to take a chance on getting a hand or arm or anything into the path of a big prop on s gasoline engine .. and while I'm not even currently able to pick up a giant scale airplane that's ready to fly, I still have a desire to get out and fly some bigger planes like the 1/4 scale Clipped Wing Cub or a 27% Ultimate Biplane, I don't want to be flipping props .. and an electric hand held starter is additional work.
So I'm resuming work on the electric starters on the engines .. with some new perspectives from things others have done, I'm hoping I can get this done finally.
The EME Electric Start from Mile High RC is a cool device. I'm going to be setting one up and testing it on a test stand before completing my 1/4 scale Clipp...
