Default RE: Nitro Engine Care And Breaking In/Starting Instructions

wow my RB engine came w/ a 30 day warrenty. I knew there was sumtin dumb bout that. The engine was broken in by an experinced guy from where i bought it. I don't know his methods but how could u find out how they broke it in without waiting for sumtin bad to happen? Also if it was broken in badly can i increase th life somehow? I did treat it pretty harsh for the first tank after 2 months of break in (winter...snow). I used old fuel and let it idle for 3/4 the tank once. It ran rich w/ fuel spitting out but i didn't form a big puddle. I has been only run periodically in th past months like 1/2 to 3/4 a tank every 3 to 5 weeks. I either idled it rich or ran it with the glow ignitor in cause in needed a new glow plug. I was busy so no time to run it or buy stuff. Any tips on care since the old methods of what i am used to have been lies? I hope it is not to late to save the engine. It was using trinity horsepower 20% nitro blend for the couple of tanks ( no more than 4 tanks) after break in. right now its been about a couple weeks and it is sitting on my table next to my dismantled car. if this is confusing sry typing wit one hand cause i sprained my other. took 30 min to type[:'(] thanks in advance
