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.

I just get to VAF to post first engine start and found this!!!

Thanks for posting David

Every single sensor and control on that engine is working OK, all avionics working, radio transmitting, we even test ELT, as David said just a few more wires and we will be ready for maiden

That's an amazing paint scheme, Fernando!

Did you do it yourself?
