First engine start--

[TS Flightlines]

Just wanted to give a shout out to Ray Eaker of the Ridgeland (3J1) builders group (Raymo on VAF) for the first engine start on his RV7A. Converted IO-360, 180HP, AirFlow, 1 PMag (right now but plumbed for the second one), Vetterman Trombone exhaust, Catto prop.
Ray's 7A was a previously started kit that he acquired a couple of years ago. Very minor issues getting ready for engine start, but overall its great.
Lot of long hours recently to get ready. Proud of you my friend!
