SV26 on Goldberg Monster Pitts Model 12

Andre purchased this plane used, removed the Saito 120, and installed the new SV26 gas engine. Runs great, but he needs to get the idle down some more I think. In this video, he didn't warm up the engine good enough before take off, and neglected to abort when it wouldn't take throttle. He got real lucky that time. Don't try this at home !
