First engine start is the best...
Congratulations Ryan!
For me, looking back the first engine start was the the most exciting part of the build... Final inspection amounted to a bureaucratic box check and first flight has so much preparation that it became a bit of a ho-hum non-event event, but the day that life is breathed into the beast is really special
