RE: Multi Engine Break In
Could not agree more with you Can Do, engine choice is so important. I suppose that is why I cringe every time I hear someone who is getting into their first multi and the first question is, I have an old ? (Fill in the blank) and a new (fill in the blank) can I just use these.
Like you I love the 25FX's and it was my favorite for the majority of my multi's that is untill I discoverd the 25 and 35AX's. They have become my new favorite and I have re-engined even a few of my multi's with them.
Those unfortunately are too large though for my latest which is a triple of course and that limits choices in a .10 size So the LA-10 is it.
Used the triple stand this morning and I am delighted as there was an additional learning curve with these engines which do not have mid range needles or a bleeder circuit. Much better to go through this curve on the triple stand I think than the airplane itself which being a conventional triple the center engine well forward makes the process a little ackward.
Anyway they will perform well I beleve, here are a couple photos from this morning. Unfortunately I also did some vidio but but the cam batteries pooped out.
Keep the thoughts coming guys as this can be quite helpful to the new multi folks.
