First Engine start

[AirbusPilot]

Hi Friend,

Yesterday afternoon I starter my engine for the first time, almost everything went ok.

Dynon RPM showing half RPM, my fault just change the setup, fixed now

Andair fuel pump just give 10 psi, Dynon sensor setup mistake, now is fixed

Right magneto didn't work at all. I had to removed my right magneto to install an oil pipe to radiator, as I was afraid I contact a licensed Mechanic to remove and reinstall the right mag and I paid for it, but he did not timed the magneto the right way, I removed and installed the magneto today by myself and now everything is good. Worst thing is this guy make maintenance to the planes that my wife and I are currently renting to maintain our license till our plane is flying. Everyday I feel more convinced that experimental planes is the way to go for safety reason.

Here is a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Io7AhRN7IE

Happy building and flying
