Brief Description:  Test

With the upper plugs removed, I cranked the engine and had oil pressure in about 14 seconds. Installed the plugs and moved the plane outside. The engine started. The engine was preheated for 13 hours and it was 45°. The engine oil temperature came up after a few minutes and I checked both mags. There was about 100rpm drop on the right mag and 110 on the left mag. Next I checked the prop action. I actuated the blue prop knob and about 6 seconds later, the prop reacted. I pushed it back in at about 400 rpm drop. After another minute, I did it again and it reacted much quicker. The engine cooled down for a couple minutes and was stopped. After not finding any leaks, we installed the cowling and restarted. I taxied the plane to the active. I squared up on the runway and pushed on the brakes as I increased the rpm. The plane could not hold 2200 rpm. I moved down the runway, snubbing the brakes to about 5 mpg.... three times. I taxied back to the departure point and again held the brakes. This time, the plane did not move until 2400rpm, meaning the brakes were doing just fine. I finished a slow run, again snubbing the brakes and headed back to the hangar. Once parked, Bill attached a pump operated desiccant drier input to the lower fumes tube and the suction line to the oil filler tube. This makes a closed circuit that runs air through desiccant to remove moisture from the engine. Thanks to Larry, Bill and Kris for a successful day.
