Installed the 100 on the test stand. Flipped the propeller till the fuel interred the carburetor. Closed the choke two flips it burped. Open the choke one flip and it ran. Let it run at about 2300 rpm for a minute then accelerated to full throttle for 3 seconds and then Dow to idle. It just sat there and idled great. Couple short throttle bursts and it accelerated great. Shut it down and will installed soon, that all of five minutes and I was done, great engine looks like a winner.

Sorry did not have tack on hand and the throttle was being controlled by a rod. But it was slow it’s hard to guess but when it is mounted in the plane I will get a number.
I fly off grass and as long as it does not roll the idle is low enough for me. I will still get you a number.

This has taken a very long time to finish this plane and I mean many years. Always something went wrong or it did not work or I stripped it out of the plane needing for something else. It is now done and ready to fly. Just finished setting up the radio. Once the weather turns better, the field dries up. Also the lock down will hopefully end May 19th .

Feels great to get a project like that done! I have three projects coming to a close, pretty excited to get that monkey off my back and fly them around! I love building.... but I love flying... It's a vicious circle!

Hope you are kidding, I am just fed up with this lockdown. Just me but I am going flying after may the 19th. If I am there all alone I do not see what I am doing wrong.
Been to the field three times to roll it and mowed the grass. The flying field is in perfect condition, next time I go to mow the field I am taking a plane along .
