Yes, this can be done if you use a custom crank sensor like used on Klaus'
system.  Problem with the stock Mazda sensor is that you only get the
primary timing signal once per revolution and only for rotor 1.   Would be
possible to give a spark for rotor 1 when hand cranking but you never know
which rotor is being hand proped through compression.

Does Klaus have no starter?  He really is a competitive SOB :-)

No starter and YES!!!!!

Almost all of the Vari-Ezes out there have no starter, and many of the
Long-EZs also.  VEZ it is very important to keep light, LEZ has more
margin.

I've watched a lot of EZ drivers hand prop their planes. I won't have
anything to do with it.  Just a personal choice.
