Brief Description: Started Engine and Tested Propeller
Started Engine and Tested Propeller. With my MT Propeller on my E-6 enginehe, the combination runs very smoothly and seems quite powerful. After a period at idle to allow the engine to warm up, I progressively increased power to about 70% of max power. The purpose of the test, beside an overwhelming curiosity about the power and sound, was to set the engine idle speed. Full power, setting of max propeller speed will be done at a later date as will be the propeller balancing. The video on YouTube is a bit long because it wasn't edited, but it does eventually show about 70% power and quick interruptions in the operation of the engine as I tested the Primary and Backup engine electrical circuits.
