To The Cat:

Lu, how did you get the Bell 47 started in the first place, when the clutch springs where out? I have been flying Bell 47īs on tuna boats and when it happened that the clutch pads would get sticky overnight I had trouble to start at all as the starter would have a hard time to pull all that mass through up to a speed where the engine would fire. I donīt say it is not possible, but I wonder you did that on purpose. I burned more than one starter like that.
