The engine spun like a turbine. I don't normally see = this because it almost always starts on the 1st or 2nd = blade.

I have = a 4 year old BC-100 (Odyssey) 25 amp hr battery. My battery has about a = 10 ft run of aluminum cable. I am not sure of the size.

In the 2 years that I owned = the plane before this starter and battery, I had put in 2 Gills and 1 = Concorde battery and hand propped the engine about 50 = times.

I am = not going back.
