Default RE: engine break-in

Well, it is always best to break them in on the ground so you have more control over the mixture, and if it should quit while flying a new engine.. well, you get the picture. It should be run more rich than normal. But, if you were able to fly it without breaking it in, well, I suppose that's ok. I would still run it a tad rich for another couple of full tanks before leaning it out any.
