Brief Description: Flight Training for the X-10 First Flight
Jan 10th 2013
I installed a fresh set (12 new ones) of UNISON URHB37E massive electrode spark plugs for installation in the IO-540 engine in preparation for the first flight very soon. The old set will clean up nicely but I fowled some of them with engine start testing and high/low speed taxiing experimenting. I did not use the RED Mixture lean out the engine correctly during taxiing. I did received over 5 hours of transition training in a very nice RV-10 including 23 take-off and landing on diverse airfields in Florida this past week and now the X-10 aircraft and the pilot (ME) are ready for the first flight. (weather permitting).
Time about 4 hours to remove and install both cowls and 12 correctly gapped spark plugs.
