Just took the plane up to the field to get the engine wet. The engine is running like a champ!
The first time I started it I put a starter on it. That took about 2 seconds of spinning. The next 3 tanks of fuel I ran through it, it took one flip of the chicken stick! I really didn't expect to be starting it with a chicken stick so soon. Let alone, 1 FLIP!! I'm happy. [8D]
Going to do the final balancing tonight. I have my instructor meeting me tomorrow evening to introduce her to the sky. Can't wait! I think I'll buddy box my first few flights. Just in case.

Oh yeah, I've got plenty of pictures to prove that it was in one piece at one time. [X(]
