Got to break-in my engine tonight...

Started on the work bench in the garage. Tied the end of the plane off to the vice so it'd be anchored for safety, fueled up, adjusted the mixture, verified the radio throttle setting, put the glow charger on and fired it up. Fired up on the third flick! Ran for 1 minute and noticed that the propwash blew everything not weighing over a few pounds off my bench and sprayed my radio with oil... killed the engine and took my stuff out to the back patio to finish the break-in.

Running that rich sure blows a lot of oil outta the exhaust and the propwash helped distribute it on the side of the plane (check out the curtains below the windows.



Got Windex?

After I ran the tank dry, I cleaned up most of the big drips and filled up about 1/4 tank and adjusted the mixture to slightly rich and did some figure 8s around the back yard. I am blown away by the wind this thing produces. Can't wait til the maiden flight!!

After a few more decals I need to get my fiance to hold my plane for a final construction pic.
