Personally, I wouldn't hand prop any plane. I got too many nicks and
cuts as a kid finger propping model airplanes. (-:

Which reminds me of a story. One winter a few years ago the FBO had a
152 that was being stubborn in the cold weather, so one of the line guys
helped out by hand propping it for the pilot. He was wearing gloves and
when the plane started, one of his gloves came off. The prop threw the
glove about 30 feet and the pilot freaked out because he thought the
guy's hand was still in the glove! He shut the engine down to check on
him. The line guy wasn't happy about having to hand prop it again...
