Took the 58 Pro in my QQ Yak for an outing, the starting routine I have now addopted is to watch the fuel leave the tank whilst turning the prop, once it reaches the bulkhead I turn the engine over another three times and then switch on the ignition ensuring that I am well clear of the prop and the engine is at TDC, this gives a kick to the prop that occationally starts the engine, if not then a quick one or two flicks gets it up and running, after the first start of the day it seems to only need one or two flicks without any priming to get it stated.

The 58 Pro with the TDK 75K cannister pulling a 21 x 10 three blade seems to be an ideal combination, can't get it to stall in a straight line but when pushed on 3D rates it will flick into and out of manouvres with ease, and because of the excess of power available throttle management means this is the quirtest petrol plane on our patch, will have to take some more rpm figures and Db readings, may be interesting now its run in further.
