Like Tom when I went to the MT prop I had trouble with rapid spin up and resolved this by only cracking the throttle a\bout 3/4". Another method that works with the TSIO 520s and GSO 480s was 30 seconds of boost pump with the mixture closed then 1 second of prime and mixture off throttle open. With any of the mixture off methods I wait till I hear the engine kick before advancing the mixture as opposed to a slow advance from the git go. The slow advance is akin to flooding the engine which has caused some fires on twin cessnas. The twin commander mentioned I would bet was a 560 F with an IO540 using an ancient fuel injection system. They never like to start hot or cold. I suspect Nico could expound on that particular plane for hours.

Many hours. However, I am very impressed with the Rockets. Why? High power to weight ratio. Horsepower. Unadulterated brute force is the thing. I read up on the Paggio Avanti - saw one at Camarillo the other day (http://www.teletuition.org/documents/Aviation/Camarillo%20Sunday%206-19-200 5/) - and noticed that they flat-rated the PT's from 1450 shp to 850 and my immediate thought was, "Why?" I know there could be many legitimate reasons, but not reasonable ones. :-) Nico ----- Original Message ----- From: "N395V" Subject: Rocket-List: re hot starts > --> Rocket-List message posted by: N395V > > I have always used the 1 second prime mixture closed method with excellent success.
