…and yes, after a lot of effort and patience, finally… :eagerness:

A friend of mine makes an attempt to start the Pratt & Whitney R-985 radial in a M.H. 1521 Broussard.

The temperature is approx. -7 degrees celsius and the engine is rather reluctant to say the least…

But this is what life is like, when you enjoy flying with round engines!
