I wanted to run the engine under load to see if it would perform well after injector bleed.

Started fine and ran out of the bay as normal. Cut the engine and drifted while enjoying lunch.

Restarted fine. Bogged a little on the way back before stabilizing. That's a little concerning because that's what it was doing before bleed. Although it started fine. Will see how it starts next time. Hopefully there is no air in the system. If there is, it must be from a loose fitting or something.

Engine remains weakest link.
