IMPORTANT NOTES
1. The electric starter depicted in this manual has a Battery Eliminator Circuit (BEC). The BEC
circuit is rated at 1 Amp. Do not use this circuit to power the receiver of your airplane. The
BEC cannot handle more than three regular sized servos. If you do so the BEC will fail with
possible catastrophic consequences for your airplane. Turn off the micro switch on the electronic
soft start module to disconnect the BEC circuit.
2. In order to avoid interference from the gas engine, you must use an electric noise suppressant
on the electric starter’s wiring that comes back from the electric motor. Radio Shack® offers two
types of electrical noise suppressants. The simplest noise suppressant is called “Snap Together
Ferrite Choke” and its part number is 273-105. The other type Radio Shack offers is the “10 Amp
Noise Filter”. Its part number is 27-051.
3. The starter’s remote On/Off switch should always be assigned to a spring-loaded switch on
your transmitter. It is important that you do this for safety reasons. It must be in a spring loaded
switch so that it will always be in the “Off” position when the transmitter is turned on and the
starter motor will always stop spinning when you release the switch after the engine is started.
4. Always include a “kill switch” in your gas engine installation. A Great Planes Ignition Switch
Harness (GPMG2150) is recommended.
5. It is strongly recommended that you use a PCM receiver to control your airplane. PCM
receivers can handle vibrations and the type of electronic interference a gas engine produces
much better than FM receivers can.
6. The minimum firewall size recommended for the installation of the
is 3/8" [9.5mm] birch ply. Lite ply firewalls need to be twice as thick as birch ply firewalls and larger
washers (such as fence washers) substituting the washers provided in the kit should be used.
