True I probably could have just run a tank or two but what fun would that be?
Everyone does their break in a little different. I think its worth the extra time and money to really break in an engine well.
So the fuel was 8.99and the time was a few hours but it is worth it. I am a patient person.
I've never had a model engine not run properly because of this type of break in.
ST require a lengthy break in, its ringed. ABC's not so much.
Anyway it was fun to watch all that smoke billow from it.
Its still not totally broke in but at least I know its reliable before I fly with it.
