    When I was working on the flight line I won a $20.00 bet that I couldn't hand prop a T-6. I about busted a gut but I got it started. A little tricky because it had to be done with a blade that was about 20 deg. from horizontal since I wasn't tall enough to reach one that was horizontal. Right amount of prime, pull four blades through, get a blade on compression, call for contact, yank like hell, and clear the blade sweep.
