Is My Engine Still Good?

This one has been a long time coming. I've been working on the plane for almost 2 years at this point and after all the hard work I get to see if my engine is good. Good as in healthy. Lets see if this thing starts, and then we'll do a pressure differential test to see if it fits Lycoming operation standards. Cross your fingers guys! OH and we have a HUGE announcement at the end of the video from Warp Drive Propellers!
I wanted to give a HUGE thank you to all the great companies that helped us get to this point on the engine.

Totally AMAZING. I can't wait to see it in the air. Great job Carl. THANKS to all your sponsors!!! A BIG tanks to Duane for working with you along the way and keeping you safe.

[@flywiththeguys]

Can't wait!

[@timothybruggeman9332]

Very cool video. Starting up an engine for the first time is a huge accomplishment. Congratulations!

[@flywiththeguys]

It sure is! My mechanic told me after we shutdown that I have successfully fuel injected an O320. Kinda blew my mind. I was just fixing the thing from other problems. Didn't realize the accomplishment.

[@trose0501]

Huge milestone! Congratulations!

[@flywiththeguys]

Thank you!

[@Aerialphotovito]

Awesome stuff were getting there slowly but surely good luck with the remaining items looking forward to the maiden flight

[@flywiththeguys]

Thanks 👍

[@brianberezowski5352]

Cool ... ALWAYS EXCITING to see and HEAR the engine run. 👍🇨🇦👍 CYQT

[@NathanWagers]

Thank you for taking us on this journey with you!

[@flywiththeguys]

My pleasure!!

[@WolfPilot]

I get to be the first comment! I am kinda shocked that you were NOT in the aircraft when you test fired it. I do notice there was no seat to sit on.. Man that engine sounds great!!!

[@flywiththeguys]

I know right!? I’m recovering it right now. This weeks goals are to get the interior complete and back in the plane, which means running a lot of wires and other systems.

[@paratyshow]

👍✅not complaining but where the hell are new videos of Rudder ? 🤣

[@WolfPilot]

@@paratyshow I have been too distracted and unmotivated to edit stuff.. :(

[@STOLrover]

I met Trent in Bisbee yesterday. He said he was out of Deer Valley. I mentioned that I like your videos. He said you had his pressure tester. And then this video pops up. Small world. Great video.

[@flywiththeguys]

Apparently I do! I need to give it back and order my own. 😂

[@BrianRhodes9763]

Two thumbs way way up, congrats Carl. When you were running the engine, The Red Rocket wanted to go. Don't put a leash on her. Great video!

[@flywiththeguys]

I'm kinda worried the places it'll take me. LOL

[@BrianRhodes9763]

@@flywiththeguys don't be worried, just hold on tight....hahahaha

[@paratyshow]

👍✅👏Couldn't ask for a better first startup Carl, congrats man!

[@flywiththeguys]

Really appreciate it! thanks for following us for so long.

[@Jeffrey-Flys]

so we expect the Carl to stop at KFMZ and “ Katie’s Air BnB” enroute!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉r

[@flywiththeguys]

Quite possibly, You're literally on the route there.

[@dgriffin60]

Congratulations

[@flywiththeguys]

Thank you!

[@ecossearthur]

Great News!!!

[@flywiththeguys]

Couldn't agree more!

[@davechapman7735]

you made a great video, thanks for showing us,, I also watched your previous clip as well .but one question please. what are the pipes that go from the cylinder tops to the sump? I watched with great interest, and cheers from NZ

[@flywiththeguys]

The red ones? Those are air intake. The little metal lines up top are the fuel lines for the injectors.

[@davechapman7735]

@@flywiththeguys thanks

[@BonziBill]

Awesome!

[@flywiththeguys]

Thanks!

[@hadleymanmusic]

Nothin wrong with revisions

[@maritestaylor8458]

Awesome 😎😎😎😎😎

[@flywiththeguys]

Agreed!

[@daydp2]

Going to OSHKOSH!!!!!

[@flywiththeguys]

YEP! Hammering out details now!

[@jackielinde7568]

SAFETY SUGGESTION: I don't think anyone here would go looking up license plate numbers, but it might be a good idea to either keep vehicle plates out of the video or blur them if that's not possible. Sadly, we can't have nice things because people are shitheads.

[@flywiththeguys]

I used to do that but I stopped. Found out that correlating the information is hard to do. Lots of sites say they can, but fall short after you pay for the fee of course. Thanks for the concern though! I usually don't have the plate visible in my videos but this one was harder to avoid.

[@ZeOhmega]

How are you still married after all this? I'm asking for a frieng..

[@flywiththeguys]

LOL. I think I've convinced her this is what I do for work.
