RE: My first startup fire
JR, that one guy tech jet is being a moron, just because some people fly jetcat and there appears to be no problems with them to some, they might not know the whole truth. In fact, I know for sure he doesn't.
I'm not saying sticking your hand in there and pulling is NORMAL. I'm saying it's common enough seen that when it happened to me for the first time, I instinctively knew what to do. Luckily, my engine was on a ROO, so had easy access. Obviously wouldn't want to put an engine having start problems inside an airplane. (Primarily the reason I switched to Jetcat and Merlins on ducted installs).
All I can say to you Tech Jet, is that I hope I never make anyone feel inferiour to me if they don't fly what I fly. I find your post offensive to everyone who doesn't fly Jetcat. But I figure as long as your post is your opinion, no reason why I shouldn't post mine.
