Dave;
Wow! Glad you and your mom are safe. I look over my own project after reading about each incident reported in this forum.
Honesty. It's so valuable, and sometimes rare. I'm sure it never occured to you to be otherwise, but it means everything to the rest of us.
I'm starting to sit in my plane (and make engine noises.....with the engine!) just to familiarize myself with the layout, or change something that I did not place correctly. I think I'll move the starter button to the stick or the throttle....or something. leaning forward to press it in flight would be a bummer. (hand off stick and eyes down during a restart attemp sounds like 3 things wrong at once, the proverbial killer situation.
Brian T..! Howdy neighbor! Hows your ship comming along?

About the cold start- I prime the engine by hitting the program button for a second or two while in mode one. Maybe having some sort of device like a switch cover for the cold start might be a good idea.
Good flying Dave. Glad you pulled that one off safely without any damage to you or the plane.
