Those particular RC engines, no, the only way to start them is to hand-crank the engine. I have a friend who does RC, and his Stearman has the same size engine in it, his plane is 1/8 scale. It's a large engine, and the electric starter that would be required to turn the prop would make the engine too heavy and expensive. That is one awesome B-29 model! I would love to watch that fly in person.
