I have a suggestion. Prior to starting the engine you said you had the landing light and strobe on. Try having everything off prior to engine start then turning everything on when the airplane is started and the alternator is running. This has 2 benefits. 1. You want as much power as possible to start the engine. Loading it down with heavy draw lights will only retard the rpm during ignition making it more difficult. 2. Sling shot voltage can reach as high as 40 volts or greater. Remember voltage and current are inversely proportional. So putting 40 volts, even only for a millisecond, can shorten the life of even a light bulb. Side note: it’s weird seeing a Comanche N number that doesn’t end in P. 😂 I love my Comanche. If you would like to see it I post videos every once in a while under “avionics guy”. Thanks for posting the video. Stay safe!

Beautiful paint on that bird! Gotta love the Comanche. I’m a little bias though!!
"What would we normally be doing?"
"180." 😱
That's mph not knots, right?!
I'm looking at a '58 Comanche 250 ATM, it looks like a perfect family plane!
Yes. All the gauges in N123HM are mph.
But
