First Engine Start video - 704CH

Fun to watch

I enjoyed the video. It was weird to watch the prop at the beginning stretch this way and that, kind of like me in the morning, before I'm warmed up.

Seriously, though, I wonder how running with the cowl off affects the cooling of the engine.

What are the pros and cons of first engine start with the cowling off or on?
 
Just don't run it for long or at high power and its fine. Easier to look for leaks and smoke and fire with the cowl off for first start up.

yes, the prop looks like a new type of flexible carbon fiber . ;-)
