I completely understand he is trying to prove a point about if an engine can be broken in horribly rich or rich period. But if I was a newbie to glow engines and wanted to fly with a new engine right out of the box Downunders advice would be the way to go. So my point is , do as you will but don't spoil the bunch of apples(engine purchasers) with mis-information, like Chuck said, by posting it is proved not to follow the manufacturers methods of breaking in any given engine.

Personally I want to know what the end result is , and if it doesn't hurt the engine I may even go with it, but if I do I know , being as honest as I am , to rip up the warranty .

PS if you have ever owned a new car or knew someone who did , going over 50 Mph before 500-1000 miles will seize the engine up , and I mean fast ! This is just another manufacturers recommendation.


Good Luck.
