Simple Question, do you stand in front or in back of the prop when starting your plane?
I stand in front and on sunday I was really criticized for it.
After swinging the prop I naturally step back, and if I'm in front I have someplace to go. Besides that on some planes like my luscombe I would be on the wrong side of the plane after starting it anyway.
Thanks for your opinions, and wisdom, Tim
