Hi Guys,

I tried to fire up my plane a couple days ago while it was a lovely -16C
(4F) outside and it would not light up.  I bought a can a lubricated ether
starting fluid and a 2 second squirt of that before trying to start it
solved the problem.  If you are going to try this look for lubricated
starting fluid as I've read straight ether is very dry.

....still waiting for flight authority
