wrong really. Did all the Rotax recommended oil priming, and it started
on less then a half rotation of the prop. And that by 6 C outside temperature.
Boy, this feels good, now i have to put the brakes on myself not to hurry to
finish the hundreds of things still to do before first flight. But it won't be
long!
