Hi,
I took my trainer out to the field yesterday for the first time. It has an os la .46 on it. Anyway, I found an instructor and he checked it over. We started the engine and ran it for about 30 seconds before taking it up. It had 2 regular length flights at mostly full power. The engine had never been run before and my question is is this OK? Some bits of stuff about engine break-in before flying crossed my mind when we were doing preflight, but I didn't mention it because I assumed he knew what was best for the equipment. After fling I talked with some other members and they said the plane should never have flown without break in. Is it OK and is there anything I can do to help it at this point? Thanks.
