Default RE: dle 20 break in

Mix ratio is fine, but do NOT break-in on the ground!
That 4500 rpm/2 hours is one of about 7 errors in TH/Hobbico/Hobby Svc DLE20 manual.
Prop it the way you'll end up flying it, tune it correctly, then go fly it.

Also, put an NGK/CM-6 plug in it, the stock DLE/3 plug has reliability issues for some users.
NGK's actual stock number is 5812
Honda number is 98052-56471, it's an NGK CM-6 in a Honda box.
