Pull Start - on a grander scale!

[nong]

Not an expert, but i didnt realise that an 0540 would need a redrive? Prop size a factor?edit: ad to that i know nothing about ag trucks

Not an Ag Truck mate. Embraer Ipanema.

Is this Jabiru's new cold start kit? LOL couldn't resist!!!

Think we are talking of two different situations. The 540 IS direct drive and a bit lumpy to pull over compared with a radial which I was relating to. Nev

The engine is interestingly the Lycoming IO-540-K1J5 delivering 300 HP with Alcohol. How would you like to fly an aircraft with a fuel tank full of Metho ... LOL.

Not an issue provided there's a few litres of orange juice around for flavour....

Take it up high and you can have a "cold" one when you get down. It's actually "etho". When it is burning you can't see the flames. One extra hazard. Nev

At last someone has noticed the fuel. All those concerns about a little bit of ethanol disappear when we go all the way...or is that a lesson in life?
