Hobbsy - you can get the weston at Hobby Lobby International, but you have to by that silly little ARF racer with it.
not true, unless HLI are a bunch of asses
little info...
the west engines run on mini pipes due to their timing, any other engine useing the same pipe in the same 3D plane would be on a throttle pipe. These pipes are quite, powerful and give great throttle responce.
good choice on the Webra, great engine, and you got the choice to get the Wests piston and liner later
lol. no really the Speed 50 is a great engine.
for me runnign in is all about what the engine will bo doing.. you have to run it in at the temps it will be opperating at ( or else the taper you run in will be wrong later )
for fast engines you run them full throttle back off a couple K by going rich. Funfly engines run at the same mixture setting but are allowed to idle back more often for longer.
of the engines i've had the ones ran in slobbery rich 4 stroking all the way tank after tank wear out much sooner and give less power than the ones done my new way.
i also run 100% synth fuel which helps speed up the break in process.
My West 50 and 36 were both flown on the break in run! best way to keep them at the opperating temp they will run at. I gave my latest Leo 37 one ground run to make sure it wouldn't cut, it's had about 10 flights now ( 5 mins each ) and it's fully leaned out
