Making Power






It took til about 2:30 this afternoon to get power... for 45 minutes then kaput! ...By then I had the fusalage taped off for priming, and I figured, "Phooey on the electric co-op, I'll just run the generator."

About midway through priming, it looked like the local area was back on the grid so I could turn off the generator. Man do those things make a lot of noise!... I'll double check the results Thursday to see if I need any touching up on the priming. Otherwise, I'll let it cure through the weekend and then it back into the nest for winter.
