First engine start of RV-8 CC-AJC in La Serena, Chile.
Started right away!!! Fernando Abasolo at the controls, Patricio Alfaro (owner) walking around with the large grin..
Hernan and Eduardo, the flying clubs mechanics holding the tail down.
A great end to an intense week to get to this point, only a few more electrical items to hook up and she should be ready for her first flight.

That's an amazing paint scheme, Fernando!
Did you do it yourself?
