Default RE: My first startup fire

Guys,

What Mike said happened to me two weeks ago. I did not slowly pushed the throttle stick
to test the full power, I just slamed it forward at the end of the runaway, ready for takeoff.
Just MW44 just stalled on me. I'm glad it did not happen 10 seconds later...
Lesson learnt. I'll do AS STATED IN THE MANUAL, slowly push the throttle stick to the maximum
once, to flush the injectors from residual kero.
