I had a handle on the boot cowl of my Cub to hang on to, it was nice in the snow and mud and such. I propped my Aeronca one time and it started dragging what it was tied to down the ramp, I caught her pretty fast tho. The A-65 in the Aeronca was the hardest to start of anything I have propped once she was hot. It would flood if you looked at it when it was hot, and then you got to prop your guts out to clear it before it will start. Best thing is when you stop it hot is to have it set just the way you want before you cut the mixture, then do not touch anything but the mags when you go to start it. Cold you have to find a system that works whether it is 1 shot of prime or 4 shots it is always the same, it takes a while to figure it out tho.
