First Taxi

[Craig]

It moves under it's own power!

Here's a short video of my first taxi. Still a few details before I fly it.

Five years, 2550 hours.

Congrats on this milestone. The plane looks great in the video.

WARNING:

If your engine is new, and not broken-in, then keep all ground ops to a minimum. To properly seat your rings, the power must be at or above 70% during the first ten hours or so, and the full break-in can take up to fifty hours or more. Extensive ground ops can glaze the cylinders, and break-in ring seat might fail. $$$$$$

I sure didn't expect Doug to put me on the front page!

Then he did it again a couple of days later with the pic of the donor list.

I feel like Steve Martin in "The Jerk", when he saw his name in the phonebook.


Navin R. Johnson: Nothing? Are you kidding? Page 73 - Johnson, Navin R.! I'm somebody now! Millions of people look at this book everyday! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity - your name in print - that makes people. I'm in print! Things are going to start happening to me now.

Thanks Danny, I know about the break in rules.
