Thank's to everyone for your help.
Since I went and built the stand ,I might as well
use it. I'll put the prop and spinner on it ,then run
her lean a couple of tank's.
RCU is a great place and the people are great also.

DO NOT run your engine lean for the first few tanks. You will want to run your engine rich for the first few tanks. The extra fuel and hence oil will help lubricate and keep cool the new engine. Not slobberingly rich, just a few hundred RPM rich of peak.
I usually break my engines in while fitted to the plane. Does not matter if you use a stand. I just like to run it in the plane cos that way I know if the throttle and fuel systems will work ok.
The 46AX is a fine engine. I have one in a quicke 500. I usually run a tank or two first on the ground (remember to run in a non dusty area) then fly the plane leaning slightly every tank. Don't be in a rush to lean to early. About 6 to 8 tanks should be enough.
