Engine Start!

It fired after the first crank! considering that the entire thing has been in bits to have it start and run first time was a little victory! Hoora! So smooth and boy did that new 11amp hr battery whizz the crank around, Its certainly part of the solution to the cold starting kickback of the 912s, the only mod i need to add is the new starter now. The CONRAD - CONAIR Sport Soft Start makes all the difference too, and if you have met him you will know he is a really nice guy, knowledgeable and free advice too. Next job is to re profile the battons and start to take the machine back to the airfield! More tomorrow!

Perfect Balance

So did I waist £13.50 plus VAT on a prop balancing tool? I loaded the prop set the tool as per
instructions to find its in perfect balance! Ah! With its dingks and dents filled with Araldite and smoothed off each blade is exactly the same weight, what skill and dexterity. I wish I would be able to say the same for the rest of today's tasks. Routing the cable for CHT, EGT, Oil Temp did not go so well, three or was it four setting up and re routing's be now all is in place and zip tied in place. I should list all the jobs completed....
