Nuf said. Thanks for answering all my questions lately. Today I was able to awaken the beast. Getting very close now.

First push of the button, fired right up..IO 360 AIA with dual pmags.

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
