She rolled out of the hanger today!

Today was a REAL good day…except she did not take to the air… 

She did however fire up like a brand new engine and purrrrrred like a kitten. Man she sounds good. Had a small leak but that was due to a loose fitting that was not tight and she even got weighed. The only reason we did not fly was due to the VERY HEAVY WIND and thunder storms in the Sierra’s today. Currently raining hard as I type this.

Here is my day…cowling and all fluids in (including the unusable fuel)

Getting weighed along with new ARM, DATUM, etc.

Whats that little blue box going to say?     (Sorry SOY…its like the shell game  )

Here you go…..drum roll pleeeeeease….

With the MT prop she will be under 1800# we are assuming…Anxious to see how much she will weigh with that prop and spinner…

So having not gone back through here…who is the winner on the weight game?

And then…she was rolled out of the hanger…    and then became very   as it was blowing so hard across the runway…we pushed her back into the hanger…

Pretty fired up to say the least….

Yes Brian…I will be flying with you guys NEXT weekend! This weekend I will be doing circles around the airport very low to the ground at full throttle for as many hours as my tail feathers will take for the break in process…

To answer another question, I kept my exhaust (per Steve Knopp’s request) as he said mine was in great shape and to spend the money on gas.
