I-16 air start

[SkyPup]

Komrads,

Fun flying yesterday (Sunday), but who’s the joker who recommended shutting off the I-16 engine during the TB-3/I-16 flights?

secret is to hit "I" (start engine) three times fast, and keep doing that until it restarts.

works as well when engine dies out from fuel deprivation when you hit those negative g's.

This is what I do.

Open the radiator flaps.

Roll over into a dive (like a bomb drop in a Stuka)

Start banging away at the 'I' key until the engine starts or you hit the ground (about 50/50 on that one).

I find it helps to swear non stop until the engine starts or you die, whichever comes first

Good luck, ace

Sometimes squealing like a girl will get the engine to start just before the "Shadow was killed by landscape" message pops up
