Engine starting
Hi Ernie,
You are correct, the manual states front first. Again the airport I fly from is dirty so I am very sensitive to puting debrie into rear prop. I also have a battery charger/maintainance devise that is always plugged into my battery, so low battery from sitting is no longer a problem. I have had stones, screws, sticks and even a chunk of aluminum cowling hit the rear prop. The upper rear 1/2 ring cowling front of prop is in shop as we speak getting replaced with new carbon fiber because it cracked off and hit the prop. So thats why I start rear first and then the front. My rear engine always start easier then the front for some reason. That is another reason for my starting proceedure. Dale
