Test Flight Mooney M20J-First Landing after Six Months with New Engine

Landing of the test flight of a newly installed engine on my M20J. I hadn't flown it for six months...always interesting to land after long absence. Engine ran great. After circling the airport for an hour, I came in high, pretty much just gliding in at idle.
