Guys,
Thank y'all for the great inputs. I have to run 3 to 4 full tanks on my DLE20 until I'm able to fly it. For fuel I'm using Klotz 32:1 with regular gas. Plug is CM6 NGK. In order to empty the tank, on what RPM should it be running until it burns out all the fuel? It should be full RPM for 40 seconds then idle for a minute? When do I have turn the motor off and let it cool for 5 minutes? I just wanna know the break in details.
I would really appreciate that.
Thanks
Mody
No need to, just set the needles and fly. The engine will break in better flying than on the ground, you can easily overheat it on the ground. Just run it rich for the first gallon or so, then readjust as you see fit. You will know when it is time to readjust as the idle will start getting higher without touching it, so you can back down the servo idle, and retune the needles. These aren't like the glow motors where you run them a few minute WOT and let them cool down in stages. Think of these the same you would a weedwacker or chain saw. Fire it up and put it to work.
