Hey! Way to go, Bill!
Its been a while coming, and given your meticulous
workmanship and attention to detail, I was starting to despair I would live long
enough to get to this point {:>).
I find that the 3000 rpm point switching between the two
EC2 maps took a little bit of tuning to get it to transition smoothly, so you
might be ready for some unsteady operation around that point.
But, I am highly disappointed that you have data recording
capability and fail to do so on your first run {:>), yes, I'm poking at
you, Bill.
Great day, looking forward to hearing about more
runs.

Subject: [FlyRotary] First engine
start
Today I moved the KIS out of the hanger, tied it
to the car, and proceeded to try to start the engine.
After a couple of minutes cranking to get oil
pressure up, I engaged the injectors and it fired up and RAN.
Coolant temperature moved appropriately,
indicating that I had flow through the system, no coolant leaks, two small oil
leaks (sensor, and blank-off plate ).
Didn't take it above 3000 rpm on this first run,
and on shut-down I forgot to save the Blue Mountain data to get the
temperature data, etc.
Engine was not optimally tuned, but it ran, will
work on tuning next.
