Taxi Tests

I performed several taxi tests to verify performance of engine, prop, brakes, steering, cooling, and control surfaces. All items performed as expected. I did find several items that needed attention after my post "taxi" inspection.

A piece of foam came loose from my battery installation. I replaced it and re-tightened the battery strap.

The right brake cable is sticking slightly. I adjusted the cable and removed slack.

A pin hole leak in my exhaust system. A small amount of carbon is building up around the hole. I will need to watch it. Hopefully it will plug itself.
