Thanks Gerhard! It's just a backup option if there is no enough glider
on the airport. We plan to stay 5-8km from the wave camp airport. May be
Saturday will be the DAY

this plane? Is it possible to start the engine at low temperature?


Hehe :-) This reminds me of my early days... It got me once, when I
had about 20hrs. Went soaring with a Falke in winter, and the engine
wouldn't restart (using the electrical starter) when I got low.
Luckily, this was anticipated and I was over the airfield.

You probably can crank the engine running by pushing to over 150km/h.
This method, including it's altitude loss, should be in the handbook.

Pay attention to low oil temperature and high oil pressure afterwards.
This means that full power may not be available until the engine has
warmed up somewhat.

Good luck!
