GPL Starter

[akflyer 1427]

Anyone ever used the GPL 90 degree starter?  I am bought one but have not installed it yet... seems like everyone would be going to it.  the rotax starter is now around 700.00 to replace the GPL is only 500 plus you can have your recoil for back up...That was my #1 reason to try it as it would suck to be in a remote area, and have the battery go dead when you have a clutch on the prop...

Leni,

You have probably seen these sites, but in case you have been to busy learning to be PC to your employees here is some info.

P.S.  I don't thinkthe classes helped.

somebody just beggin for that ass whippin....I have allready forgotten what the class subject was...too much capt'n morgans I think. 

I am getting real antsy to get home and finnish my bird.. hopefully the weather sucks bad enough I wont be tempted to fly everyday..then I can check out the new starter.  hopefully it went through some design problems in the begining and they are now worked out... would piss me off if I went through what I did to actually get the damn thing then find out is it a total piece of shit...

well shite... YHesterday I pulled my engine to install the GPL starter... it wont fit.  I would have to move the engine mount and cowling forward about 4" for it to just bolt on, or cut he firewall and engine mounts and re-design the fuselage mounts.  I guess I will sell the GPL starter and take a raping for a new rotax starter....and hope to hell the battery never goes dead when I am out i nthe middle of nowhere... the price I think I am willing to pay for having the clutch on the prop...

anyone want a good deal on a new GPL starter
