@Randy - Im not sure if thats your 75.. I ended up getting quite a few I don't have anyway of knowing who sent me what.

Needless to say they run well.

There is a fuel filter running inline - just not on the test stand version.

Whats it going into ? I thought the first photo would be enough of a hint.. I guess you guys want plane photo's..
The Tiger is sleeping at the moment - I was able to get a snap shot of it a few months ago briefly before she retreated to the safety of the garage for painting..

PJ the plane looks good.  I'd put wheels on the test stand and ride it around the yard.

I like your test stand anchor...Looks like a T/F nylon, that's about all they're good for.

Funny story behind that Nylon..

My late grandfather gave Dad 2 rolls of it.. Maybe 1000 ft in each roll. - We got given them in around 77 - 78. Its been used for lots of different jobs here and there - Im still not through the first roll..................

Your spot on.

Back to painting.....
