Ever see the picture of the guy at about 1000' in a Cub, standing on the
wheel and handpropping the thing?

But note that he was following the minimum urged in this thread: he
had a qualified pilot at the controls.

Ordinarily, he did this down low at air shows. He was up high only
because the guy in the other plane had to make a descending pass to
get the photo.

More than one L-4 pilot has had to get out, stand on the landing gear,
and prop his plane while slung from a wire over the side of an LST.
