Brief Description:  Engine Run, Taxi, Brake Test

Buttoned up the entire airplane, including top and bottom cowls, checked everything over (pre-flight), cranked it up and taxied around the airport. This was the first time I'd run the engine with the cowl in place and I wanted to see how it might affect temperatures or to detect any binding. I also reconfirmed other engine instrument display settings I had tweaked since my last run. I also checked that the idle stop worked even with a fairly aggressive pull. Lastly, I attempted a full power static test, but the brakes are not yet burned in enough to hold past 2300 rpm or so. I'd like my static ground rpm to settle in at about 2700 rpm when it's all done.
