re: Camp Freddy / R66 Start

What a difference from the R66 which is so easy because the starter is latched as long as the igniter is enabled and it drops automatically at 58%

Easier than driving a tram !!
I'll second this... Been flying B206B3/L3 since early 90s and then R66's in just the last couple years. At first I was pretty critical that Robinson hadn't fitted a FADEC or at least an automatic starter like the Intellistart, but I have to say that simply latching the start button as they do reduces the stress and chance of a mistake by 99%.
