Does wrapping a rope around the prop dome (you mean that spinner-type thing which houses the CS hardware?) really give you enough leverage to turn the prop, without damaging the dome? And how many revolutions of the prop should you reasonably be able to expect before the engine catches?

Oh, and is this with passengers watching, so do you have to keep your cool and look like you know what you're doing, or not?
