I fly an L4 Cub,A-65 engine.
No parking brake,in fact brakes used soley for taxiing, if at all.
Normally on my own and often no one else at the strip.
No electric starter,the only way to get airborne is hand start,known as the Armstrong Starter
Chocks,tie stick back with harness,switches off, throttle shut (for me,others open a crack) Prime 2 pumps,pull through 6 blades,switch on 1,then swing.
Starts first time,every time.
Move round to put switch onto both and open throttle a crack,and jump in for run ups.
When all completed,throttle on tick over,jump out and remove chocks,get in and away we go.
We are on grass and we have several hand starters but no one ties down.
Been OK so far.
