Airport Bum. July 7, 2005
Follow along with the Pictures below while Rick O Shay gets set to solo
his Titan Tornado. First, with a great deal of effort on
the part of Top Gun the Warp Drive prop was set and aligned at 15
degrees. All 12 bolts were tourqued up at 130
inch/pounds. Then it was ready for a full power run up and tach
test. Top Guns truck provide the anchor with the Tornado tied
down to a 10,000 pound towing strap. wheeshh, I guess that oughta
hold that sucker down. Gotta check that power run-up, if it pulls
a static full power at 6300 RPM thats what we want. Darn that
sounds like near perfect, I guess this birds ready to fly. Hey
