Just for your information, the YAK-52s being imported into this
country are pneumatically operated, the brakes, flaps, landing
gear, and even the engine starter. The starter is most unusual
in that the compressed air is injected into the top of the cylinder
heads just past TDC via an air distributor similiar to the spark
system.

Zoche aero diesels also use compressed air starters. They are lighter
and more reliable (can't short out)

Compressed air is also commonly used to start large diesels, such as
used on ships and submarines. Not a new concept!
