In this “Airplane Build Vlog” episode of Flight Chops: start the engine for the first time after pounding the final rivets and finishing up the last of the build tasks.

The custom armrest / quadrant comes from here:

After years of avoiding getting into “Merch”, enough people requesting it finally inspired me to launch a store - All of the revenue goes back into producing quality aviation content.

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
