I have actually swung a Dak prop Twice! Port engine starter motor failed on a night mail run. Used a brown line, put a hoop in the end & rotated the prop backwards to the 11 o' clock position. Did a dummy run to make sure it came off in the 4 O'clock position, it did! Manually pulled 9 blades whilst captain primed the engine. Put the line back on got a second Volunteer to help run with the line, Thumbs up mags on pulled & started 1st time!
Did it all again at destination so we could get home, started second attempt!
To start a Dak with fuel boost pump failure? Easy get a bottle full of Avgas from the fuel tank drains, sit astride the engine & pour into engine air intake whilst captain turns engine. When finnished give the thumbs up & quickley jump off the wing as the captain turns the mags on!
