Today I did couple of fast taxis with my test pilot that flew the plane the first time with the turbo and fixed pitch prop.
We had 500 pounds on the front seat and the plane lifted off the runway in less then 1500 ft. He said it is a great improvement from V.1.0. That's the good part. Last few times I had trouble starting cold. If I give it a sniff of the starting fluid it will sputter and I have to turn on the Cold Start for a second or two to get it going. Before start I hit the primer 4-6 times, but it does not help. After it worms up, starts instantly. Anybody with ideas to improve the situation? Thanks.
Buly
