Question:
Handpropping a rotary engine ... Possible? Easy/Difficult?
Difficult due to the gear box. One rotation of the prop is
2.88 revs on the engine. A lot depends on the EFI tuning
and the position of the fuel injector relative to the rotor
housing.
Also it is a function of prop inertia. A low inertia
wood prop would not help.
