Well, my RV friends, I have crossed the ever elusive threshold called "the first engine start." After one full rotation of the 3-bladed Catto prop, the Lightspeed Ignition System brought the engine to life. Diggin that electronic ignition already! She purred like a kitten as I throttled through a few RPM settings. No leaks or squawks noted, post-run. Still have to secure a few items, i.e. the cabin heat hose hanging out there. A little fiberglass work left to do on the plenum and cowling. Hoping to git'r in the air sometime in March/April, if the Air Force Reserve can keep me home long enough.
