I guess I am missing the need for any of this. In flight use of
starter?? Maybe if you had a full feathering prop, otherwise the prop is
your starter, just push the nose over. Need to hold stick while
starting? Unless you are facing into winds that approach rotation
speed, what does holding the stick accomplish? While some like switches
for mags.EI and a button for starting, the old twist to start ignition
switch does simply things a lot. Unless you have 3 hands, you are always
going to need one to activate starter and one on the throttle/mixture
knobs. I guess having button on stick lets you use one hand to holde
stick and activate starter with the other on throttle, but I still don't
see the need to hold the stick. It is the brakes that will hold the
plane from going anywhere. If wind is strong enough to need stick input,
you probably need wing walkers to keep the wing tips and wheels near the
ground.

David,
Thanks for the info. I'll probably leave mine as is since the relay and safety switch work well!
