How to hand prop a Cirrus (A Satire)

The SR22 has always had a 550 of some form.

IO-550-N. 2000 TBO, 2700 RPM, 310 hp, found on the SR22 and the Mooney Ovation 3 (or earlier Ovations with the STC that Mooney applies at the factory on an Ovation3). Very similar to my IO-550-G, which is the same thing turned down to 2500 RPM resulting in 280hp. SR22T is a TSIO-550-K.

Good chance this is totalled. 2005 bird needing a new wing, motor/teardown, front landing gear, and front end/firewall damage repaired.

Plane is likely 250-300k and damage will 75% or more of this value.

One stupid pilot...

SR22 for sale. Motivated Seller! No major damage history, just some hangar rash. Flown recently. Fresh annual!

:D
 
Darwin always wins. Here's evidence!
 
So I think the SR22 has an IO520 or something like that. How the hell do you hand prop that? My Bo has an IO530 and hand propping that would be a bear.
Just watch the video in the first post and you will see.

Didn't even look hard.

Suggest trickle charger in-between usage...
 
Adam, pretty sure yours is a 520. The 530 is a Garmin, not an engine. ;)

The SR22 has always had a 550 of some form. It is possible to hand prop one although I wouldn't bother trying. I just charge the battery.

Ugh that was a fat thumb post. Yes of course its a 520, I need to slow down my typing at lighting speeds LOL
