Full power test

The main goal for today was to run the engine at full power and check the RPM. It seemed a little on the low side so we may need to adjust the fine pitch stops. The manifold pressure also seemed low compared to when the alternate air was opened, so I may need to enlarge the air intake. However it's developing a ton of power so we will leave the fine tuning for the test flying.

I also drilled the strut fairing attachment bolt holes, added some Adel clamps to the engine for lock wiring, installed the Kydex rear upper cockpit panel, and adjusted the ailerons to 3/8 above the wing tips snd got a dual inspection done on those.
