Yes. I had seen photos of rope starting DC-3 / C47; luckily there were plenty of staff on hand and presumably an appropriate sling.

It was a post in a different thread (which, peculiarly, has since vanished) which stated they had rope started a fuel injected Islander in the highlands of PNG which particularly intrigued me.

Can someone explain how to rope start a BN-2 with a two bladed prop and a spinner. There’s obviously some neat trick which I’m missing.
