Default RE: ALWAYS start your plane at idle speed

Started my skybolt (1.60 twin 4 stroke engine) on full throttle by mistake once, that gave me a heck of a surprise! Thankfully I was using a starter not my fingers, had the plane in a restraint, and my hand on the upper wing, but it really left a mental impression and now I triple check the throttle before spinning that prop up!
