Just trying to help [8D]

Regarding the mintor 170, I strongly suggest you contact Lance at www.aeroslave.com before you crank this engine the first time. Cooling this beast until it is properly broken in is the key. Lance has played with them for years now, and he probably knows this engine as well as anyone. Just realize that it has it's quirks, and know them well before ever making the first run. They have gotten better over the years and are a good engine. But they run very similar to the Webra in many respects, just more top end usually.

I urge you to talk with him soon. Just to make sure and take no chances, because it seems customer support in your part of the world is a factor.

Good luck and good flying!
