TBM Avenger Run-up

  We did a full (military) power run-up today to test the pitch control on the propeller after the AD and re-installation. We're almost ready for the first flight of the year after we de-fuel and check the fuel strainers. 

Its funny how my camera phone makes the prop look so weird!

Propeller Install-TBM Avenger

I now know how to install a Hamilton Standard constant speed propeller. Our first airshow in the TBM is 17-18 April in Hot Springs AR. I sure hope the ground thaws out soon so we can get the hangar doors open to run the engine and check proper function of the prop's pitch control. These photographs were taken with my phone's camera so not the best quality.
