I have hand proped a IO 360 on a C-182 without too much difficulty in the past and wonder if it would be similar to a Corvair on my CH-701 when I am finished? Before you ask it is because I would like to stay down to the Zenith Reccomended 200lbs installation weight . Thanks for you comments on this if you have actually proped a Corvair engine....

How hard would it be to prop a Corvair engine on a CH 701? I have done it without too much trouble on a C-182. Anyone with experience proping a Corvair, please reply Thanks!
