Yes I was trying to start a 7AC at farmers pride airport just northof Lebanon Pa. It was a cold day and It just would not startso I thought I could get away with cracking the throttle 1/16''and hand propping. It worked the plane started right up butbegan to crawl forward I thought no problem I'll step to the sidethat the door's on and grab the plane by the strut and it'll stop. Have you ever squared danced with an AronacaChamp, the plane went in circles I was able to jump inside and stop itbut from that day on I tiedthe plane to my pickup with a rope.Russell----- Original Message -----________________________________________________________________________________

Not now I worked in Heshey between 1984 and 1988 and lived down the road from Farmers Pride airport which was owned bySenator Manbeck, the small country airport was a buzz of activetywith several clubs, Bill Shadler was a great aivation buff he taught me to fly the champ and was rebuilding several planes at this time.This was a great place to hang out, every one got along from millionairto pauper and I have missed this place ever since I moved, I nowam located in north east Ar. and may have to move again shortlyto just just north of Little Rock due to my job.----- Original Message ----- ________________________________________________________________________________
