It runs!

I started the engine in my RV-4 for the first
time this afternoon. Everything went according
to plan except for a few instrumentation glitches.
It's a pretty awesome feeling to fuel it and see
no leaks, to crank it and see it start, and to
see (almost) everything work.

Time to schedule an inspection and finish
transition training.

An exchange with the line guy, who stood ready with
a fire bottle:

Me: If you see me running, you run too.
Him: If you're running I'm going to be ahead of you.

Congrats! That is good news.

Congratulations. Been a long time coming.

If I'm running, follow me!

Similar kinda place not too far from here
used to have 'em that said, "If you see me
running, it's too late."

Wear that lately and you will probably get shot.

For some reason, I read this as an invitation
I hope he didn't meet anyone too agreeable

Thanks...those are the *real* milestones. This was just
a step.

Now, anyone got a Grand Rapids engine monitor
with a fuel pressure tap? I've worked my way
through their troubleshooting steps with limited
success and would like to get some advice this
weekend.
