Rotax 447 test run without prop?

[Laserboy532]

Greeting all,

I've recently purchased a Dart Skycycle Gypsy with a 37hour Rotax 447 and 2.58:1 box. It did not come with a prop, and it hasn't been run in probably a 3-5 years.

I've cleaned out the carb and found no issues, but while I wait on selecting and installing a prop, I'd like to test run the engine if possible.

Can I safely test run it without the prop installed? Anything I'd need to be on the lookout for?


Thanks in advance,
Scott
