Are the pistons diamond encrusted, good luck with the test flying.

You probably feel like it should be made of solid gold the price of engines !

Check the weight and balance

Do you mean the whole aircraft? If so:

Looks lovely. Is it by chance a Norvic engine? Mine looks identical in my 1965 C-150, now up to 801 hours and running like a sewing machine. Good luck with the test flight.

[JoeC]

No, it's an old skool Continental replaced by Dukeries on site at Netherthorpe.

Joe: The C150 with an O-200 is just a classic!

Keep a good eye on your oil screen for flakes during the first few hours of flight. I assume you have been sent the small Continental running-in documentation by Dukeries (the link is mine, but the same info).

Thanks Rob, a couple of other group members have been managing the new engine project so I'm still waiting for the running in instructions.

Err no, I meant a Continental like mine, Norvic overhaul Continentals amongst other aero engine types.

I hope the '22 carat gold' spec is not included in the online G-INFO data ..
