You can prop a skylane but it's scary. Lots of horsepower there. I had to hand prop a C-180 when the owner and I got stuck on a remote glacier below Mt McKinley in very bad weather and were overdue on our flight plan. The alert was out and we killed the battery listening to prognostications as to our doom on the radio chatter between airliners above but no one could hear us. When the weather cleared enough for us to fly after 2 days there the battery was kaput so I propped it to life. One mis-step on the snow and you'd look like a badly processed swiss steak or a gory victim on CSI Miami for sure.... who got me started on these flying stories???
