Tonight I started the engine for the second time on my -6A project. Goals were to verify alternator performance, P-Mag operation, and check for correct EGT readings on cylinder #1 following a probe replacement. If no problems with those arose, I decided ahead of time that I'd taxi to the run up area and back (perhaps 500' total).
The treat was that I didn't really need to use the brakes to steer - I haven't taxied an RV previously, so was expecting to need to use the brakes. With just a little bit of throttle, I could taxi pretty well with just the rudder. Cool!
