Off to a Bad Starter

During my preflight, I observed that my starter had fallen apart. I re-assembled it but it would not engage the Bendix. I had to prop start, The day was perfect.

You honor the first generation of aviators who prop started their planes!

Perfect indeed. Nice view.

Love the clouds.

Thank you.

Another great flight👍. I had a starter problem recently to. My sprocket broke and hit the starter. This folded the sprocket back and stopped the engine suddenly. Forced landing .

[@pilotdavelittle]

Sorry, I hope you got it up and running again.

That exact thing used to happen to my old 1968 Plymouth. RrrRrrRrr.

It's probably easier to prop start my trike than to push start your Plymouth
