Hand propping class

I second the part about staying out of the prop arc when the master is switched and will add when ground power is plugged in as well. I have seen the starter engage on both situations. Cessna has a bulletin about that for airplanes that have their "split bus" system (not the same as a 737 -ha ha)
 
Chuck if you have a Stromberg carb and you start it warm/hot don't prime it, and you have to open the throttle about an 1/8" to get it past the idle circuit or it will suck fuel and flood when warm. Tie it, chock it, and check the throttle position a couple times before you flip it.

I did not know that about the stromberg.
