I flew down to 21N to look at my engine at Mattituck with Bill H. in his RV-6.

Vlad flew in from Princeton, NJ to meet us. Good to see you today Vladimir!

I needed to deliver my G3i electronic ignition module and explain it's operation.

Here is a pic of the engine:

When Mahlon comes back from vacation we will fire up the whole works in their test cell. Should be fun!

After talking with the guys at Mattituck, we flew to Block Island for breakfast and then back home.

Truth be told, I got LOTS of flying in today because when I got 30 minutes out of my home field I realized that I left the electronics in my Jeep! Did a quick 180 and got them. Could have been worse. Could have been in the flare at Mattituck when I realized it! hahaha

Above is the test cell where the engines are all proven.

Can't wait!!!

This is the test cell. I am not sure but I think they have done this sort of thing before...

I don't know whose engine this is. It will probably go into some spam can trainer or something. It looks awful boring!

Well, we need to run it in the test cell yet.

We will run it soon and I should have pics of it hung in February!

Looking forward to it!

Here we go John. How to make a perfect trip out of seemingly mundane visit.

Out of Mattituck to local Grand Bahama

Meat Servo at work.

Meat Servo at work II

In 20 minutes we were in the bahamas

Good brunch later we left the hospitable island. John and Bill went to MA and Russki back to Brighton Beach
