If it works it can't be *totally* wrong. :-)
More correct would AFAIK be:
1. { } turn left *and* right magneto switch on
2. OOOOO manually inject fuel (yes, five times Shift-o)
3. increase throttle to 1/3 (or more?)
4. <SPACE> fire starter cartridge
5. B release parking brake
then give throttle and pull stick for better ground contact of the tail
wheel. (I get best results if I do this until I lift off, others may only
do it until they can raise the tail.) Don't know if flaps are recommended
for take off, and how much. Vivian?
You need C only to select the *next* ignition cartridge. The first one
is already selected at startup, so you don't need it. (And, of course,
case is important. It always is on sane systems.)
