Starting a DC3.

I watched the carb heat thread with fascination as it evolved into a pissing match that ended in the inevitable locked thread.

So lets see who can describe how to wrap a rope around the prop dome of a DC3 to get it started if the starter or battery has failed.

Be descriptive so we will be able to visualize the correct method as we do not want the rope to slip and not rotate the engine.

I am aware that this is maybe just a tad out of the realm of private pilots.....but there are some true experts on here who I bet will see this as a new soap box from which to rail the crowd.
