All systems are working properly and we have about an hour of taxing around . Made our first full power run today on the runway and i am very happy to re port that directional control if very easy and little rudder input is required t o track straight. The prop is bigger yes but the prop disc is 7" closer to th e cg, this coupled with the correct offset make for good takeoff tracking. I can tell you that bringing up 160hp on a 1,000lb airframe is a kick in th e pants for sure.
