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

Perhaps the authroities will be kind to you and not provide your flight
authority unitl spring and warmer weather {:>).  Just kidding of course, got
to be hard knowing you are ready to fly and just sitting there waiting for
the word.  We are all waiting to hear your Whoop!
