First dyno test

This is the first spin up of the cart on the new dyno setup. We were at 15 degrees AOA and were running our slowest gear (15/65). Design point is 20 degrees(tip at static) and 23/65.

Even with the Honda engine nearly idling the vehicle immediately pulled to the front and held against the stops. (for those who aren't up on what that means, it means that the vehicle is going ddwfttw at a very low windspeed -- a good sign of our overall system efficiency).
