I know I will take good care of both the plane and the engine.

I personally would avoid the electric start. Particularly the CPS starter, it's
poorly made and hard on the crankshaft. The Rotax mag-end starter is better,
but still a lot of money and weight that you don't really need on such a small
plane.
Just route the pull rope into in the cockpit and pull start from the seat. The
447 is easy to crank over by hand due to its smaller size. On my 447 trike, I
had it routed to a pully on the mast over my head. I could actually pull start
it from the seat with one hand pulling downwards (and very easily with both hands).
Oh, and practice your deadsticks! Then it will be no problem when/if the motor
decides to quit for real ;)

How do you think the 1500R will fly at deadstick? or... fall? hahaha. I will practice
everthing I can just in case, and will also look at finding a way to route
the pull to the cockpit.
Thank you for the knowledge.
Very respectfully,
Derek
