Just finished a complete major on our 38 Cont A50-3. This is a video of the first start up. A couple notes: The right mag wasn't functioning in the first part of the vid but that was quickly taken care of. Also the tapered hub is torqued but the lock nut for the hub hasn't been installed yet in this vid. A few more minor items and it will be back in the air! I love the sound of the dual open exhaust with no mufflers on the A50! Pure Music!

Here's a video of the start up.
