I am very new to RC-aircraft, and have just today baught my first trainer aircraft (a "Thunder Tiger CT 40") along with a TT GP 42 engine.

I am used to work with much larger 2 and 4 storke engines but I know very little about these tiny engines. I know that every engine should be run in properly before it is put to use and so I would be grateful to anyone who could let me know the following :-

1. Should I load the engine in any way during the break in process

2. What kind of cylinder head temperatures should I look for during break in .. I mean what is the maximum temperature that the cylinder head should reach without causing any problems to the engine


3. If I am to break in the engine on a test bench, would it be reccomended to do it in a normal vice, or would this cause distortion due to the temperature and if so, what sort of test bench should I construct for the engine


Thank you all for your help and time
