First Engine Run

Today was the first engine run.  Had a few items to take care of before this could happen.  A couple of small fuel leaks and one oil leak.  All a result of "not tight enough" connections, resolved with a bit of "righty tighty" action.   Also continuing to tweak/ program the G3X system, updated databases on GTN and G3X, and added V-speeds (will use published speeds until flight testing establishes any differences on my airplane).

Preparing to run engine (objects on ground moved out of way before running):
