I for one have ALWAYS hand-propped my Avid Flyer (Cuyuna 430 with CDI
ignition), and my J-3 Kitten (Rotax 277 with points ignition).  This
has worked so well that I have removed the pull starter on both aircraft
thus eliminating some 8 lbs.  With hand propping and handheld radios
and GPS, we don't need an electrical system, saving an additional 25 lbs.

Light is good!!
