Not too quiet. After not going to the airport in some time, my battery was down so I prop started my KRII. Of course I tied the tail, but this time it was easiest to tie it to the trailer hitch on the Subaru. WARNING! Don't do this. When she came to life, her tail lifted and ground down my pretty wood prop just like a pencil sharpener. Does anyone have a prop for a HAPI hub they would like to sell?
