Recently someone donated a small experimental airplane that they had built to us. We stole an engine from one of our other airplanes (which will never fly) and stuck it on this little home-built.
The video that follows, is one of me hand-propping it. This airplane is so simple that it has no electrical system, no battery and no starter. So you find yourself back in the days of World War I when YOU yourself are the starter.
(the first couple of pulls are to draw a fuel charge into the cyllinders, then finally the Magnetos are turned on and I pull to start it for real: Please NOTE that it is possible for this engine to start at any moment.)
***Disclaimer: Do not attempt this at Home***
