Can anyone point me in the direction to requirements and or test plans for flying off the test hours after initial flight? I would like to know what type of flying is necessary and what others have done. I will be entering that phase in my journey shortly. What can I expect for required hours, 25 or 40, for the test flight phase. My 9A has a Penn Yan O-320, carbureted, with bottom Slick ignition and top LightSpeed. I am using the Sensenich prop Van?s recommends.
Also, does anyone have a test plan or suggested procedure for first engine run? I want to do it right and safe and efficient. I will be collecting data from my Dynon EMS but will also like to collect data by eyeball. I am not in a rush and have no problem making and event out of it.
Is there some way to pre oil or should I not worry about that? How much fuel should I have in the tanks? How should I flow fuel through the lines before I start to clean out the lines?
Thanks![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
