Behind the Prop Starter–Safety First!

From www.aeroperfect.com The “Behind-The-Prop Starter” features an adjustable starter motor platform that can be adjusted to align with the spinner height / angle of your aircraft. Not only does the platform height adjust vertically from 4-7/8 inches to 15-1/2 inches, its angle is adjustable from 90 to just under 70 degrees. This gives pilots the option of starting their “tail-dragger” aircraft with either the tail wheel on the ground or with the tail wheel elevated.

In addition, the angular adjustment extends the low-end platform height to just a few inches, thus accommodating much smaller aircraft. The Behind-The-Prop™ Starter also features a built-in height and angle scale that makes it easy to set (or reset) the starter motor height and angle to match any airplane in your hangar!

The battery tray of the Behind-The-Prop™ Starter will accept a wide variety of batteries. 12-Volt Garden tractor batteries like Wal-mart’s EverStart or Sears’ Plus Start® work especially well because they provide high Amp-hour ratings and are very cost-effective. They also provide weight (approximately 10 – 16 lbs.) so that the Starter System will remain stationary during engine starting. Please see our specifications page for battery tray dimensions.

The Behind-The-Prop™ Starter is easily stored and transported thanks to its innovative design. It folds up into a low-profile configuration for transport to/from the field and features two lock-down knobs to make sure it doesn’t come un-folded while being carried. It can also be stored vertically for efficient use of floor space.
