Ok This is the Se5 start up for the first time after hours of synchronizing the twin mags, they trail one behind the other a bit don't remember the the degrees, coupled together to the engine with coupling disc like devices loaded with springs to keep them all in place . Yes that's my thumb in the video I had to hold on to my hat and camera as the dust/dirt was flying around, even at idle you've got to lean into the wind to walk up to the cockpit. The plane is gone to its owner in Va. I retired from building aircraft but still go see whats happening at the shop once in while, maybe I'll get some pic's of the Tommy and post them. No that's not a rubber prop bending HA HA

The plane is back at the shop for repair, they flew it without enough fuel and crash landed in a corn field, broke wings, landing gear, motor mounts and a $10,000 radiator. Its just about repaired now. I think I'll see if Forest Gumps Moma can go supervise the next flight.
