| Contact! The engine started first try. No oil leaks. A bit noisy though! :-) |

| Off and running...Good thing the wheel chocks are holding it in place. I'm sure the micrometer was a big help with this build. |

| VA seems to be into propellers this week with counter and clockwise issues, etc. Efforts to create scale props make a real difference. Great results guys !! |

| Very nice. I noticed before that there is not a whole lot of clearance between prop and ground when the tail comes up on the TO roll. Had to be some good pilots. |

| Don C my thoughts exactly when I first saw the BE12a.. The tail skid is very high. I bet the air scoop on the engine and lack of visibility it produces makes landing this bipe a real challenge. The metal cladded blades could till a garden! |
