Ground test sucessfull!
 

So, took a tour around the hangars today, running the brakes in, watching temps, first time with a castor wheel plane, no problem here. Taxied out to the clear and ran her up a little, no luck holding this thing back, lots of power, wants to skid forward, looked at the runway and turned back to the hangar, still need to perform other tests, static, transponder, W&B, A/W, and the transition training before I take to the air, BIG smiles today :D

That's a sweet looking paint job!

Wow, Nice plane Bret!

Nice
 

looking Good Bret!!

Way to go Bret! Looks very nice in the sun. The color really comes out.

I Love the color and scheme...

That must have been so tempting!

Looking good! :)

Cheers,

Great job Bret!

Blast off! Take your time. Very nice looking.

For a second....or two, I thought about cruising down the runway, but after all the things I've read on here about high speed taxi tests gone bad, I rejected that temptation and went home. I did do full throttle for .75 of a second, and was very impressed how fast this CS prop accelerated this thing, this is definitely not a 172, I look forward to and WILL do transition training :D
