My .60 model rc aircraft is hard to crank the propellers using an electric start.?
This is the Tiger Trainer 60 RTF plane and I purchased the electric start where you hold it to the propellers and it spins until the engine starts. The electric starter is brand new and the battery its plugged into is new and fully charged also. It often seems that the electric starter does not put out enough torque to spin the propelles, but I can spin it by hand if needed. I checked for a flooded engine by holding it upside and cranking it but that did not solve the problem. The plan runs, but often has a hard time getting the propellers to spin when trying to start.
Any model train collectors out there? I need expert advice.?
I have my father’s complete train set, from 1930, and I understand it’s quite collectible. Many cars, scenery pieces, track. It has been in storage for years and is in pretty good shape, with a little surface corrosion, but lots and lots of dust and the metal is dull. I haven’t actually seen it work in 20 years, but I’m sure it woudn’t take much to get it going. I’ve finally decided to let it go. I’ve ordered a guide to pricing, but so much depends on condition. Here are my questions (thanks for your patience, and serious answers only please):
1) It looks bad now because of the dirt, does that affect how I rate the condition?
2) Should I clean it, and if so,
3) How can I best clean it up for sale without damaging anything?
4) Is eBay the best sale site?
5) Should I sell it as a set or by the piece?
Thanks for any advice.

At what horizontal distance between the target and the rocket should you launch?
As a science fair project, you want to launch an 850 g model rocket straight up and hit a horizontally moving target as it passes 31 m above the launch point. The rocket engine provides a constant thrust of 15.0 N. The target is approaching at a speed of 15 m/s. At what horizontal distance between the target and the rocket should you launch?
I was trying to use some of the kinematic equations to figure this one out, but I’m always missing some part to the problem or at least that’s what I’m thinking. Got any ideas?
