Brief Description:  TAXI TESTS!

The cowling was on, everything was buttoned up as I pulled N365SX out of the hangear oto the taxiway.Seat belt fasrtened, canopy locked, magnetos ON yell "CLEAR " and puch the starter button. An anemic groan from the cowling, once, twice, three times the charmm but not tyhis time. The battery was low. So back into the hangar, off with the cowling and recharge the battery. Once again repkllace the cowling, pull her out of the hangar, seat belt fastened, etc. Push the button and ROAR!! Jim Pyle remarked on how 'sweet ' the Jabiru engine sounds. The idle is set slightly high (1063RPM) so the engine was set to taxi speed. EGT & CHT seemed OK, Oil pressure OK so off I went out onto the main taxi way, 100 yards out turn around and 100 yards back, test the brakes (not wild about this but the idle has something to do with it). On the morrow.... more extensive taxi tests.
