Corvair  - FIRST RUN!

8.0

engine

DETAIL:

Today I spent all day finishing up the engine and wiring all the electrical on the test stand.  At about 5pm I fired it up.  Smooth running and lots of power.  2700rpm static with a 66x29 wood prop.  The carb still needs adjusting and I'm having a bit of difficulty with the fuel pressure regulator and CHT gauge, but I'm hoping to clear it all up soon.
