I understand your feelings. I should be only a few weeks away from doing the same thing. Just rotation will be a pleasant site!

Well, it is not first start yet, just the baby step of cranking it under its own internal electric power with switches and wires properly layed out (following many hours of special time with the ECU wire diagrams and Bob Knuckles Z-14 drawings). It was more about bringing my electrical power and mechanical power together to act for the greater good. But it does bring the potential of first start much closer. My EC2 is complete and my oil lines are good, but I still need to rerun my fuel lines, which are mostly done...THEN I will be ready for attempts at first start.  Right now, just cranking it over with the starter under ships electircal power was music to my ears.......it is transitioning from a pile of pretty fiberglass and a big hunk of metal to a real life aeroplane.
 
To you ol' hands at this I am sure just turning it over a few times is not a big deal, but to me, the ground up noobie (after 4.5 years of building <g>) it was great.....I may actually burst at actual first start.  Hopefully soon.
 
All the best,
 
Chris

Ahaaaa..... Or should I say, Hmm.... Isn't that a sweet sound!
 
Glad o hear first start went smoothly Chris.  Sometimes we get the impression that it's a months long ordeal getting that sound to happen!

Dateline: May 8, 2007 - Houston, Texas;  Today, Officer C. Barber, Esq., on his 46th birthday, achieved FIRST CRANK of his Wankle Rotary engine mounted on the rear of his Velocity SE.  While the engine was in no way prepared for starting, the fact that all the wires that were layed with great care per Bob Knuckles Z-14 (duel alt, duel battery) drawings and run to the panel actually worked.   The primary switch was turned on, the secondary switch was turned on and then the "crossover" switch was activated.  Then the lucky Mr. Barber pressed the starter button and the rotary churned away dutifully.  Then he did the same thing several more times. <g>
 
All the best,
 
Chris
