So the moral of the story is (I think?). If you have enough power to crank
the engine, does not mean that it will start. The starter pulls
down all the available juice and the computer takes a break. Any comments?
Always start with the ebus switch on - this gives another volt or so to the
EC2 (presuming you have an ebus and the ec2 is wired to it)
Always start with the alt battery switch on. This helps keep the voltage up,
and charges the backup battery once started. I can't see any reason to turn
these switches off during flight, except maybe an overvoltage which should
kick out the alternator anyway.
