Howard is my all time favorite entertaining poster. Keep it up Howard. I love your posts. The stuff you posted from the Worlds was just great.
I was flying at Topeka's contest a few years ago, and had just primed my Fox 35 in my first Magician. I was flipping the prop to work in the prime without the battery connected, and off she went. Grabbed the spinner to shut it down, signaled the judges, and restarted. I kind of surprised everybody but I have had it happen before in practice. Never flip a Fox 35 with fuel in it unless you are ready for it to start.
When I fly ignition I generally fire the engine up, turn off the switch, signal the judges, turn on the switch, and fire it back up. Most of the time doing this I get first flip starts.
