Okey dokey. Cattleflyer/ssg/strickle451/tankdriver45/onpercenter is being added to the ignore list, until he gets banned too.

After his "which side" thread comments in this forum, the folks in the helicopter forum have been wiping the floor with him. He's been preaching there, and knows less about helicopters than he knows about fixed wing (didn't think it was possible, did you??).

But I try to apply 'Flex Logic' to my starter...the easier I am on it, the longer it will last.
Whereas the starter will normally stay engaged to about 50 percent on most turbine starts, regardless of when you introduce the fuel...one saves nothing. The starter motor is powered and engaged anyway. Early introduction of fuel doesn't do a thing but increase start temperatures. The starter will be engaged for the duration of the start process anyway.

If you bother to reply, of course, I won't see you...your latest name goes on the ignore pile with the rest of your banned personna non-gratas.
