Default RE: Peak amp draw durring start

True the peak is for a very short time, but the system must be able to handle that short peak, no matter how high it is.

At least on my P70 the starter motor is ramped up slowly so that you do not get the big stalled rotor peak from the motor. The big amp draw is the Kero burner. I just did not know how much.

That is my plan for now, If I need weight for CG I usually add it in the form of bigger batteries. I hate useless weight........[>:]
