All prop planes have this step in the checklist. Pretty self explanatory if you ask me. But yeah I would start a recording after priming because every 150 I have floen, priming is a BITCH. It takes so much force to pull it out and push ban in while making a horrendous noise. Haha
Canterbury where do you fly? I think it would be pretty damn awesome this summer if a bunch of pilots from NS could arrange to all fly somewhere or something.
I live and fly out of way up in Yellowknife, NT, Canada. My Dad flies out of Vernon, BC (I go up with him when I come back to visit). That would be awesome, though unlikely for me as I'll be pretty busy with work this summer.
