Default RE: Yellow F22 Build

Got to take the new engine out for a spin yesterday!!

The first start it cranked right up. I thought I would have to tweak some settings but no I did nothing. It fired right up. Power is amazing! I only got 2 flights due to the heavy crosswind. But first takeoff I went straight vertical with it. The 170 is a perfect match for this plane. Not to mention it was nice landing each time with the engine still running

Very big thanks to Barry at Kingtech for making it all happen.

If I get a break in the weather then I will get some more flying today or tomorrow.
