Default Engine start and run

Hi Ed, I am just outside of Ft Pierce. The plane is up in Sebastian getting the final touches done before inspection, which unfortunately will have to wait until our government sees fit to re-open. My DAR can't file my application until they do, and he can't inspect until he can file the paperwork.

Hi Tom, yes, it's got an aerobatic governor and counterweights. We did the first engine start yesterday, and it's got a great whistle to it as well! During the second engine run, I took it up to 2300 rpm, and it started skipping across the apron, locked wheels and all! She really wants to fly!

Here is a short video of the start:

Damon, you may be close to a nose over at those power settings if the tail can come up.
