Your description on how to start the Tiger Moth is excellent, technically correct in every detail except you have me scratching my head as to the setting of the throttle during the procedure. As I understand it the throttle setting should be correct from the time you move the propeller, and this applies to suck in , blow out or immediate starting of a hot engine. Many an accident has resulted from the throttle being wrongly set or in some cases mistaken for the mixture control which is attached to the same quadrant. It should be done correctly and in the proper sequence everytime.
