Sorry to hear about your trouble Bert.. Frustrating when a plane showed great promises as a plane but wouldn't behave on the ground .... These "secondary system" issues are frustrating as we know the machine flies and we would really love to see it doing that...

I had a bit of success today - Got the e-pressure setup lit up and can report first tries show promise. I didn't bother setting up a curve, but rather played around with the setting to see where it was happy... You will see in the video I'm playing with he Mixture "control" and it responds well.. this is about a 20% bias control. I was able to get a fairly good bench run with little work.. The engine is a little power house easily turning 13K + on a 10-6 prop.

One issue is the HS needle is less than 1/2 a turn open. Its a fairly steep angle needle and one click makes a bit difference in mixture - with the pressure (and the bleed) I was Able to get it running well though.. Any tips on what to do to make the HS needle less critical

Here is the video
