I wonder if there is a rope starter available or some way a simple recoil starter
could be incorporated? Isn't that how the smaller ones are started on ultralights?

I bought a GPL starter to put on it so I could have electric start with a recoil backup, but the engine mount and firewall would have to be reworked to make it fit.
