The was an article in Flying LONG AGO , "I learned about flying from that..." about a guy who used to pull up into a stall to let his prop stop windmilling. After enjoying quiet flight for a while, he'd dive a bit to restart.
On day, he did this in an aircraft with a not well worn engine, and he couldn't dive far enough/fast enough to restart. On my O-320, I couldn't restart either, but a touch of starter brought it up to cruise speed in an instant. Ron Freiberger mailto: rfreiber...@swfla.rr.com
