OS 46 LA
Couldn't find any topics to match -
I'm breaking in a new piston/liner and got 10200 on a wooden 11x6 during first tank. Am I on the right track?
Tnx - LeeH

RE: OS 46 LA
Lee, I will be breaking in a new LA .46 today in preparation to convert it to Diesel operation on a Hangar 9 Duel ACE. I'll be using Fox 5% nitro fuel with 20% castor and an 11x5 Bolly prop. What brand 11x6 did you use and I'll try to duplicate? Thanks

RE: OS 46 LA
I tached my LA .46 recently with a Master Airscrew 11X6 2 blade. it is a well broken in engine. With 10% Omega and an OS #8 plug I got 11,300. It is actually one of my weaker engines. [
