Default RE: Mystery Speed Engine Break In
A couple more questions on this engine. I am planning on bench running it with open exhaust in the next couple of weekends if the weather holds and I need a bit more guidance...

1) Does anyone know how much nitro these things like? I am planning on using 10% or 15% unless otherwise informed.
2) Glow plugs - hot, cold, in between, what?
3) Break in prop - APC 11x6 a reaonable choice? Less load, more load?
4) How many turns out on the needle? I am planning on starting at 3.5-4 if know one knows better.

Thanks,
Mark
