:D Good evening everyone, little video of the KT de Saumur start-up, when the sound is recorded by Tamiya. Place it here? because in videos, seems not often consulted? but can move it if not well :)

Just like the Tiger 1 and 2 our DHC2 Beavers had an inertial starter and in the field to save the battery it was often the practise to revert to it to get the 9 cylinder Pratt and Whitney Wasp radial turning,
Having SWUNG the prop of a few light aircraft winding the side mounted handle of the Beavers inertial starter was a much more attractive "proposition" and a lot less hard work. :haha:
