Antares 20E vs. ASH 26E VS DG 808C
wrote:
In the Antares 20E, to extend and start the motor:
Push the power control forward.
10 seconds later you're under power.
THATS ALL.
To retract the motor:
Pop up the little mirror
Pull the power control back.
For your entertainment, watch the prop step to vertical and
disappear.
Put away the little mirror.
15 seconds later you're clean.
No cool-down cycle.
No prop-stop fiddling.
No multiple controls to operate.
No priming fiddling or "automatic" primer flooding.
No fussing with throttle setting to start.
No fuel valve.
No ignition switch to forget (laugh, but many times per year this
happens).
No starter button.
No engine master switch.
No extension/retraction controls.
No backfires.
No belt to break or adjust.
No manual pnuematic input switching.
No fun at all, eh ?
See ya, Dave

PS: You can leave the little mirror out if that's still too complicated
!
PPS: OK, its true, you do have to turn it on before you go flying.
PS: It was pointed out that I forgot:
NO GASOLINE AND NO GASOLINE FUMES !
See ya, Dave
