I used to fly a R172K with a 6 cylinder, fuel injected engine. Starting that one cold was truly some kind of a black magic, and moving the throttle and mixture in some random, mysterious ways often used to do the trick So I guess a tiny DA20 should not be so hard
Now that's funny!
Whatever black arts one needs to consistently start ice cold engines...I've never had it.
