dose anybody know how to put together a engine starter to a battery so i dont have to drive my car up to my plane to start it? or do i have to buy it that way? i see some guys have the motor on a small stand, and just carry it that way. H^^

You can get a rechargeable battery pack with brackets to mount the starter in - with a charger. Don't know brand names or details but I know some use them. Others have home-made 'cases' that have the starter/battery mounted in a similar manner.
I use a 'pit box' that has a 12v. battery and a power panel and just connect starter leads to the 12 volt output of the power panel. The box has a 12 volt gel-cel or lead/acid battery that I recharge occasionally with a small 12 volt automobile charger.
In actual fact, I seldom get the starter out of my big tool box - I really don't have much trouble starting most of my engines by hand. If I have to flip more than 3 or 4 times, though, I usually start thinking about the starter.

Here are a couple of options --

I believe the battery pack I have for my Sullivan Dynatron is a Hobbico. Seems to me Sullivan products has a 14.4 Volt pack available. Kind of wish I had one. The 12 V Hobbico has been a bit light on power to start my Fox Eagles.
