On glow fuel, Saitos start really easily with the backflip method, but you have to get them wet. I put my finger on the muffler outlet and forward flip until live got fuel on my finger, then attach the igniter and backflip, they usually fire first time. You don't backflip it through compression, but rather slide you chicken stick off the prop before the piston passes TDC, the fuel in the cylinder will ignite and drive the piston through TDC in the normal counterclockwise rotation, and result in engine start.
