Just a question. If your plane has sat for two months (paint shop), or even a week or two when you pull it out, if temps outside arent too low, do you turn the prop to splash oil around?
I see a lot of older pilots do this, claim in gets a little oil moving and does no harm. Seems like a good idea. Of course safety first, key out, master off, stay clear of prop if it catches but... is this good practice?
Picking my plane up tomorrow, hasnt been started for over two months. Nice new engine, temps will be warm etc, just thinking of the best prep.
Open to arguments for and against.
