Temp dipped down to 19F around here last night and I really wondered if the trusty Lycoming would thunder to life.
Evidently, I have just about figured the right amount of prime with Don Rivera's AFP system, 4.5 seconds of prime with the throttle wide open, hit the starter and it came to life after 2 blades swung by....what a deal!
Four of us blasted off for a half hour flight for lunch. Not a bad way to live between storms in the Midwest during December.
Life could be worse....
