Abu Dhabi 1

At last we were able to get to start preparing the planes for racing. There has been some delay in getting access to the planes after shipment from all over the world and in our case from New Zealand. We off loaded the aircraft from their airshipment pallets at 11:30pm last night and put them in their hangers for an early start this morning at 8:30am. Work is progressing smoothly and Team Muroya is changing to our brand new racing engine as planned. The new engine should be more powerfull and lighter in weight with all the latest allowable engine nodifictions such as re-profiled camshaft new pistons and rings and other small but positive improvements over the standard engine. 
Here we see Takashi working on the new engine prior to attachment to the fuselage this morning. Sorry for the date stamp error.
