I like it that way on a taildragger, but on something with the prop as low as an Ercoupe I like it at TDC at about 4:00 as viewed from the cockpit. I find it easier to pull through while stepping to the right as viewed from the front, facing the prop. It seems to work better for bigger engines, at least for me. I wouldn't want to hand prop an engine as low as the Ercoupe in the usual way (pulling down) because I'd have to lean toward it. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Dold ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://home.pacbell.net/sdold/ Say NO to useless over-quoting ----------------------------------------------------------------
