@daveandy1 Being the original poster of the "trimming" comment I'd like to respond. I am a 2004 C-182T owner for the past almost 4 years. Prop pitch has absolutely nothing to do with "trimming" an engine, which is a non-existant concept anyway. Prop is set at "HIGH RPM - FULL IN" for engine start. Cruise climb or en route cruise is the only time you adjust the prop. You ALWAYS want full RPM for start-up and take-off. Perhaps you are thinking of having the engine "squared" which something else.
If the engine is cold on a C182 prime for 7 to 8 seconds before starting wait 5 seconds... That will insure aircraft will start the first time everytime. Free tip from an Unemployed aircraft mechanic...
For those inquiring about trimming the engine, what they are referring to is the prop pitch. It is adjusted to control the engine's RPM, as well as improve engine performance at higher altitudes.
@tj1234542 makes me think about a humorous video in which the captain explains at a flight attendant that one of the buttons on the overhead panel is "used to extend the flaps of the leading edge along the aircraft's fuselage" xD

@manny298 I'd actually thought most student pilots are taught this from the beginning.

@tj1234542 yeah, no doubt. Don't think the guy is a pilot at the beginning of the video.
