First Engine Start
Well, it runs! At approximately 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, 6/22/2013, My Wooden Airplane came alive!
I moved the plane into the street and tied the tail to the tow hitch of my truck.
Without any adjustments to the carburetor or the distributor, it fired right up after about 2 seconds of cranking.
Thanks to Seb, Dean, Selena, Brian, Holly, and Dave for their assistance!
Now I get to tweak all the fun things like ignition timing and idle mixture.
But, Bar-B-Que first!
Total Time: 1.0 hrs.
