Glasair Subaru First Test Start

[KTMMotox1]

you must have been super exited, i helped my dad build a td version in the 80's with a 180, he did some run ups with me sitting on the tail.....was not a fond memory for me lol

[glasair1ft]

@KTMMotox1 I thought so at the time. Turned out this was nothing compared to the first flight. It's all very rewarding.

dude your shoes!!!

How do you know its time to change the Timing Belt?

[glasair1ft]

@ProspeedCTR Since I run it at 4000 rpm continuously, I will change it every 100 hours. That's about 1/10 of the interval in a car.

HP??

[glasair1ft]

@brucenash 165 in the car, about 160 in this plane

my favorite sounding engine... now in the sky! this is beyond awesome... coming from a wrx owner.

[qsecgtyhd]

damn..now that sounds pretty!....what block are you using?.....EJ-25??

[glasair1ft]

2001 EJ-25. It's the single overhead cam version with 24"-long open exhaust pipes. I'm currently running dual Super Trapp mufflers but will be removing them this summer.

[qsecgtyhd]

[Ayinger]

That sure sounds nicer than a Rotax or Lycoming. What is the TBO on this?

[glasair1ft]

We don't exactly know what the TBO will be. We'll have to monitor it.

[whatzupa]
