Default RE: Nexstar "running in" engine


ORIGINAL: bigtim

so I am a bit curious do either one of you guys have a NEXTAR or a OS fxi, if the engine was suposed to go through a full break in then why doesn't the instructions say to do that procedure,ask BAX that question.
I even dug my old manual, out of the pile of manuals I have, to make sure that the recomendation wasn't there.
I do have a NEXTAR that I flew for a couple of years, if its suposed to have a run in procedure then why would a limiter be installed that prevents a suposed proper run in.
I can tell you guys from first hand expierence since all my glow engines I have are OS, 5 OS 4st, and 3OS 2st, engines that all have been through the manual ilistrated break in procedure exept the OS fxi, it runs as well as any of my other engines.
if you chose to recomend to a beginner to deviate from the instructions thats your perogative its not something I do,there is a reason that manuals are written.
one thing I have found when you start to deviate from recomended procedures and somthing goes wrong then a garentee tends to evaporate no matter how right you think you are,but dont tell me I am wrong for giving recomendations that are ilistrated in the manual it,or suggesting it be done by the book book fellas. http://www.hobbiconexstar.com/engine.html says engine is ready to fly
While I don't personally own either I do own a large number of OS engines in that size and general type. In addition I have friends who own them and have trained a number of students flying them. Continue to damage your engines all you want but please don't preach your trash to newbies.
You've been shown the engine manuals above but you apparently only read the parts that you want to. So be it. You're too stuborn to bother talking AT any longer.[sm=thumbs_down.gif]
