after putting on the cowling and setting up yhe dynon system on Rivet the wonder plane ,so named by ,my wife , I started her up for the first time and planned to do taxi tests. so much for the taxi tests, she took off on me at 40 knots!. 427JV took off and went up to 1500 feet, wrong place to burn in the breaks!
Flys hands off. Temps were CHT-340, EGT was average 1300 to 1300. after about 2 hours they were down to 345 and 1290. did high speed taxi upon landing, and breaks work fine. took cwl off and only issue was oil comingloose oil filter, screws fell off tail light, and prop needs to be pitched less.

Juan, Great News!! Same thing happened to me on first high speed taxi test. Obviously high speed taxi test should be about 10-20 mph. I know your proud and you can expect those CHT temps to go down as the motor works out, Again, congratulations, Bill of Georgia 601XL-3300 120 hrs
