Default RE: 46AX break in
ORIGINAL: poppy2
The OS 46AX engine is decribed as an ABL engine (advanced bimetric liner) and I could not find where it said to break in the OS 46AX any different that what the instruction manual says. Can anyone clear this up for me. Learning how to fly is stressful enough for me. Adding on that I might be breaking the engine in wrong is stress on top of stress. I appreciate any help you might have.
The proper method of breaking in this kind of engine is still the subject of great debate (and experimentation by some to see if the method really matters). The consensus of most experts is that they should be broken in rich, but not sloppy rich. Here's a thread that has lengthy information on breaking in this kind of engine: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=1850473
