ORIGINAL: RC11
Matt,
I don't like using a starter at all but sometimes its better to swallow the pride and fly. I really like to have things adjusted properly and use the backflip. So when I resort to the starter I hear about it from my fan club. Pete Cosky always comes over and inspects my spinner to look for telltale starter marks so I polish my spinners on a regular basis to keep him shut up. Then he shows off hand starting his YS140.
Now Rick, in all fairness, you have seen me use a starter to run my YS dry....
I have to admit I am looking forward to seeing this engine fly tomorrow. As much as I love my YS engines, I really want to see this engine succeed. More alternatives can only mean better things for pattern.
Pete
