The Mighty 85. . .

is almost ready to rumble!


Four Three Bravo's top overhaul is complete.  All that remains is to install the cowling and the propeller, add four quarts of oil, and then go fly!

Update 01, 1501 Zulu, July 24, 2013.

 
From Brother Baker:  "As per the Continental Service Bulletin; 750 RPM for one minute, then 1000 RPM for three minutes. . .  No leaks!  She's all signed off.  We fly in the morning!"

Update 02, 1549 Zulu, July 25, 2013.


The long awaited message:  "45 minutes.  Oil pressure steady.  Nothing on the belly!"
