Well I didn't get to test fly the Arrow today. I ran out of daylight BUT, I did run a tank of fuel through the engine. I opened the carb up wide open, put my finger over the carb and pulled the prop through until fuel reached the carb. I pulled it through one more time, then flipped it through two times, set the throttle to idle and put the glow plug driver on and pulled it through to feel it hit. I flipped it one time and it was off and running. The engine ran great. The only issue I had was the thing seemed to get richer when I leaned out the mixture with the slider on the transmitter. I looked down at the mixture control while sliding the trimmer on the radio to full lean and the motor went rich. I did not realize that the mixture control on this engine was backwards to what I am used to with every other engine that I have ever used. I leaned it out just enough to get it on the pipe good and it was swinging the APC 11x7 at 14850. The engine was nice and smooth and I have no doubt that it will take this thing will have plenty of power tomorrow morning when I test fly it.

More to come.
