Default Inverted engines, need advice.

I'm getting my first in-cowl inverted engines set up plane close to ready. I've been told that inverted 2 strokes can be a real problem. It's been suggested to start the motor with the plane upside down. Sounds scary to me. I guess it could be secured in the cradle of my flight box. Also reliable slow throttle and idle can be a problem. Really not crazy about too many dead sticks. Anyone had some experience with this set up? Would specific glow plugs or fuel help? Rich/lean setings? The motor is a GMS .47 but may swithch to a OS >46FX. Any help would be appreciated.
