Dear Christ, what has all of this got to do with the price of a lb of cheese.
SSD, a Cessna 172, hand swung from the rear, is, well nigh on impossible.
There was a fatality, a number of years back, with an acquaintance of ours, who decided to hand swing a 52. Not pretty.
I could never understand it. Like you, it was a big enough challenge to just turn the prop. We had a 50, although I have a number of hours on the 52. Both the types were not in the, lets hand swing it, variety.
Someone a bit back discussed thread drift, I am sure the OP, now has a number of hours under his belt, with the C152 checklist he got from here..
That said........
