Hand proping is also done but as a last resort when the battery is dead.
They do start easily when hand propped, but it takes a healthy pull on a
blade, then staying out of the way.

Through a Rotax gear reduction?


Yes, a B box with 2.58 gears on several MXL II styled planes and also my
GT 500 with the C box and 3.47 gears

You might be thinking of the E box with the roller clutch and electric
starter built in

Must be, thanks... When I was flying this, the owner mentioned against
ever handpropping it:

That pic s of the C box, not the E

so the starter is on the front end of the engine, not visible in the
picture,

I hand proped this exact combo many times,,,,,,,,,,,,,some for showing
how to do it, a couple because the battery was dead.
