Some easier than others. Modern (?) electronic ignition makes it easier to start due to variable ignition timing but the homebuilt radial on G-BMOO needs a huck-starter to spin it up enough to run. G-BMMF can now be started with the use of a little finger to push it past the TDC position (on a good day).
