REFLECTOR: IO-390 engines?

[Richard J. Gentil]

Today I sent half the day wiring up the gear handle, the gear & pump 
lights, and the test & reset switches. It is something how time flies. I 
had done the up & downlock microswitches as well as the throttle 
microswitch last week. I hope to install the panel next week. (I only 
work on the plane on Fridays.) If I were to work every day on the Velo, 
I could run the engine in around five days. So I figure five to six 
weeks which will turn out to be two months.

I cannot wait to hear it come to life. I can almost taste it. If I had 
gone all conventional instead of a three tube EFIS and dual electronic 
ignition, I would have probably already run the engine. But this was 
something I expected and planned for. Just hope the wait is worth all 
the extra work.
