I got my SuperStar 40 ready to fly today. CG checked out in the proper location. I disassembled the LA40 to make sure there wasn't any rust inside, it was good. Charged up the batteries, attached the wing and headed to the front yard. I used a cargo strap to secure it to the ground. As my fuel is a couple years old, I decided to only use it for ground testing (there is only a little bit of the gallon left). Since I had to order a new battery for my starter, I used my chicken stick. After priming and setting the needle valve, it started on the third flip! I ran the throttle up and down, reset the needle valve, then let it run on full throttle. 14+ mins on a tank of fuel! Next tank I taxied around the yard "cutting the grass"!

Now I am working on replacing the bearings in my 46AX. They are a little bit rusty from sitting. And I have to replace the carb, as it is frozen.
