[NSRCA-discussion] New YS .60 Short Strokes

[W. Eddie Batchelor]

On time, I had a Irvine 53 start on me . It was while refueling after a
flight. I moved the prop so it wouldn't hit the table and it started.
Thankfully I had it in a cradle and I was very lucky the prop came out of my
hand & my reaction got my fingers clear.  But I had to go home & change my
underwear :-)

Some may remember that under ideal conditions a glow engine can start
without heating the glow plug simply by flipping the prop. Its rare but can
happen. In any case it requires a deliberate act to energize the meat
slicer.

New Rules Proposal:

    All Glow Powered aircraft will have their Glow Plugs removed as a visual
indication that they are not "hot".  The Glow Plug will only be inserted
into the cylinder(s) of the engine when the competitor is in the ready box
prior to an official flight and will be promptly removed by his caller
before leaving the runway when retrieving the plane after flight.
