RE: Fleet Brotherhood
Not a very auspicious maiden. Never got off the ground but I really didn't plan to. First problems was getting the engine to fire and when it did, get both cylinders to work at the same time. Took a while and a few nistart batteries but off she went when we got rid of the kinked fuel feeders. Some low idle adjustments and now it is on to re working the EPA on the throttle servo. I usually have the engine shut off via max low throttle but this bird still wanted to run.
Did pass the range check with flying colors but I had an intermittent elevator servo that would not respond only until the engine was running. Checked all the connections to no resolve. So, it's yank the servo for another NEW one.
I did forget how long it takes to put this beauty together. Good day anyway as the wife packed a great lunch, spectacular weather for January and a dozen or so bald eagles thermaling overhead.
I'm bushed but pleased. Now we got and settle up with glitches.
