Preflight testing


Fuel system tested using the pump test function to check the fuel feed from the centerline tank, to header tank, to air trap, to pump and back to jug. Everything checked good and the pump sucked it all out as planned


Pump running at PW 232. Header tank air was constant till the center line tank emptied


Turbine start and run worked great. No issues. I picked up the jet and held nose up vertical at full thrust and shook it hard. Not a burb and pump kept sucking the fuel from the centerline tank. A little less than 1 to 1 thrust but it really wanted to go!


No heat issues at all after start, run, shut off and cool down. Jet is ready to fly!
