First flight in our "new" Ercoupe...

As far as the starter goes, a lot of pre-60's model aircraft have those
types of starters. They are actually kind of nice because instead of
having a starter solenoid, you provide that function by pulling out the
starter knob. It's one less thing to go wrong, although sometimes you
need to make minor adjustments to the linkage to get it to work right.



Until you pull the thing and it comes out of the panel like it did in a
C-150 on me one time.

Years ago, a friend related that he was somewhere in a Borgward or
something equally bad; and when he pulled its START knob, there was a rope
attached....
