Engine Install




 The alternator arm was too short.  Vans shipped a longer one.  Also, the alternator was bent.  Vans sent a new one right away.

 The prop governor has a pretty short arm.  I think it is too short, but will have to wait for engine run up to confirm.







 The instructions call for some extension tabs here, but they aren't needed.



 First day in the sun.  



 Marek and Miro helped do a little wiring of the starter and master wires.

 Miro is very proud of the plane.  He wonders why we never fly it.


The main power wire from the battery to the starter needs to be 2 AWG.  We used 8 AWG and the starter barely turned over.
