Starting an engine with ether is not warming it up. The purpose for warming an engine is to get the oil warm so that the bearing surfaces are lubricated properly. The ether just provides an extra large detonation of the fuel, nothing more.

zoning in on how long the aircraft should run before take off instead of addressing game crashing as your taking off provides a large headache, nothing more
