rockinrobin Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 On our American Aeronautical Foundation B25, "Executive Sweet", we accomplish this by bumping the engine through with the starter (mags off, of course!). By bumping, the starter can't develop enough torque to hurt anything if we encounter a hydraulic lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
