Does anybody manage to do a hand start standing (kneeling) behind the plane, or the wing actually?
If that can be done, it would fix the safety issue of starting an unrestrained plane.
The awkwardness of that creates a danger in and of itself.
Mmmm, what exactly makes it awkward? (I am currently an electric flyer, so do not have any set ways with glow)
I realise a high wing would get seriously in the way, but what about low and mid wing planes?
Just the idea of reaching around the prop to hold the plane gives me creeps.
