[SEL] O.T. Test now question about touch paper

[Paul Pavlinovich]

Hi Bob, I know that you pinched this from the 'net so they're not your 
words so this isn't directed at you. I have to wonder about the validity 
of the last statement. Why would firing from a cartridge place any more 
strain on an engine than the first firing stroke on any engine when 
starting. All the cartridge does is take over the job of the exploding 
fuel - I don't see how it could be worse.

To steal some words from (I think) Dave Rotigel... it all comes down to 
Suck, Bang, Blow, Suck, Bang, Blow, Suck, Bang, Blow, Suck, Bang, 
Blow.... etc.

Regards
Paul
