582 pull start

[Bluebird19kf]

Has anyone ever thought about flying to some remote destination and then magically your battery is dead on your 582 powered kitfox? I have. Is it possible/practical to put a pull start on that engine?

Might be easier and much less expensive to carry one of these or one similar in your Kitfox. I carry one in every vehicle including one in my airplane. Just a thought.

A 582 starts real easy with the prop.
I always carry a similar jumpstart,they are also great for recharging cellphones and tablets,a must have?

OOOooo, nice gadget Desert Fox. I think I'll have to get the PayPal going

Edited: more $$s spent on gadgets

We tried prop starting it once and couldn't even come close to get it to fire. Can you guys prop 582's?

Shop around for best features and amperage ratings. There are hundreds of models and manufacturers of these type of units on the market now.

**** If you run an AeroVolt or EarthX type battery, do research first before using one of these units to jump start these types of aircraft batteries to avoid damage to your $370.00 battery.

I also use mine to extend greatly my Ipad Air2 tablet running Foreflight and Stratus if the Kitfox I'm flying does not have a USB outlet.
