Anyone try to attempt to hand start an aero engine with a three bladed prop sure have a death wish. That next blade comes around awfully quick when it fires.....
I swung a two bladed prop many times but always had someone sitting inside holding the brakes.
Some blokes have big balls alright....
520's hand start surprisingly easily when cold, just make sure you get outta the way of the 2 other blades!
