HI folks, Just wanted to conclude on how the flying went today with the airborne break-in of the new piston ring and honed liner.
I managed to get about 3 hours of actual flying time on the engine. Obviously ran it it cautiously. The first 3 tanks (12oz) with a caster mix 5% and then resumed with my usual 12% thereafter. The low end needle didn't need much tweeking (just a 1/8 turn did the job).
All went well and she's opening up nicely.

Cheers for now !!
