Well after almost eleven months of work we started the 912uls on my 7A today and completed the weight and balance measurements.

First start was basically uneventful, fired on the first couple of blades and ran smooth after dying a few times, probably didn't get all the air out of the carb feed lines.

.2 on the Hobbs and all pressures/temps in the green.

Shutdown and check for leaks with nothing found!

Sure is a great feeling, hope to fly in the next week, if the darn weather would give us a little help.:)

congrats Tom T. First start is usually pretty smooth with the Rotax.
