Running in a DA 100
Guys,
I have just pruchased a DA 100 for my Comp ARF 2.6M Extra. This is my first time running a Gas engine and I would appreciate any advice on running it in. How long does it take to run in etc.
Thanks
Niall

RE: Running in a DA 100
Yep, run it in the plane. Make sure it's net set lean for your altitude and temperature. Usually I'll have mine set a little rich, they load up a bit when taxiing to the runway and needs to be cleared out. If you can get Lawnboy Ashless oil, use that, mix it 33 to 1. I buy it in little cans here (Albertson's) and make 2 Gallons of gas per can. It is a little messy, but it seats the rings. Run that oil for some 8 Gallons, then switch to synthetic. I love my DA100 and 150.
