After Walking the Radials

Anson Air at Sugar Land Airport, Texas

It is an art form to get them started without stalling, over priming, under priming, ignition too early and the risk of fire can be pretty high too.
Turning the props (counting or walking) works to clear the oil that has settled in the lower cylinders.
Can't beat the sound of big piston radials...
