Flight report tomorrow...? Looking forward to it. No knife edge loops on the first flight.
I'm sure you'll like the engine, I found it remarkably easy to handle. It helps that the pipe/header setup is ready to go of course, but the engine itself is a nice piece of work. Mine was pretty squeaky, if I did it again I'd warm the head the first handful of runs just to be extra kind.

It`s my daughters birthday on sunday so i think it`ll be next weekend till i get a chance to fly it i`m afraid. I`ll try and organise a clubmate to video the first flight
This is without doubt the 'tightest' engine i`ve ever owned. i fully intended to give it the 'hot air gun treatment' for the first start, but if you think i should do this for the first runs thenthats not aproblem,i trust your judgement
What about the running in procedure, do i just follow it to the letter in the instructions ? The point they make about it being fully run in after one tank is pretty lame at best.
Any advice you can give me on the first few engine runs would be much appreciated.
cheers
