Here is a short video that I shot with my cell phone of the first time that I started the motor.

In general I am not really the movie type so I do not own a video camera (other than on the phone) and I did not have any body video the maiden (Personally I think videoing maidens is asking for bad luck)

And before any body asks the shoes were to stop the plane from running back. I had the plane secured with a strap to stop it from running forward, but I have read some nasty stories of people pushing the plane back while trying to start it, only to have the plane jump forward when the motor starts and take a nice chunk out of their arm.

Cheers

I love the shoes! The engine sounds great!
