Brief Description:  Preparing For First Engine Start.

I have been fiddling around in the shed preparing for the first engine start, which may be tomorrow.
I have extended the fuel hoses to allow the fuel container to be away from the propeller slip stream.
Disconnected the turbo oil line at the tank and connected a 19 mm clear hose which is in an empty milk container cable tied to the nose wheel leg.
The first 10 seconds of running we should see oil flowing through the clear hose confirming the turbo will be lubricated.
Once we have oil flow the engine is shut down and the turbo oil hose is re-connected to the oil tank.
I have rechecked all the engine gauge marking on the G3X, Max. Min. and normal ranges for temperatures and pressures.
I have purged the fuel hose up to the gascolator and ensured the battery is fully charged.
