Well i am back on the Extra 330L build. It’s been a while I am sorry but hopefully I will get it done and built ready for the upcoming season.
Ran the new engine on the test stand for a couple of minute, just enough to know it starts and can idle. Will start tomorrow with the install of the motor and work on finishing the plane.

Ok this is a picture of the engine ready to be installed. As I said before just ran the engine on the test stand just long enough to know that it stars and will idle, I believe it is better to break the engine in on the plane. It gets much better cooling and the throttle is on and off all the time. No vertical climb outs or propeller hanging. Just some easy flying around for five to ten tanks.
