Using a Power supply to drive starter is unlikely to work. I've tried a 10A unit on my starter after reading this, and it was a bit slow. I generally use a 7A Gell Cell (Motorbike battery) to drive my starter and sometimes on a 120 it struggles a bit, so I drag out my electric flight charge battery (about100A) and it spins easily. I have a number of 4ST from OS26 to YS140 and find that it is difficult to start any of them by flicking, but most start with one touch of a starter, after turning over for a few secs on full throttle WITHOUT connecting Glo Plug.Then back to low throttle connect plug turn with starter and bang they go.

I have a DX7 , bought it last Nov after using DX6 for 6 months. They have been legal in Australia for some time. In electric models I have never had a glitch. My old Radio Rx's always tended to have motor glitches from time to time. I have Jr 10 and Graupner MC24 Tx's as well. The Spektrum is excellent, I've tested the "model match" a few times. I've heard of problems with new 6 ch Rxs but my experience has been all good.
