Ok.. I have a tank and a 1/2 of 40-1 thru my engine as of now... Wow!!!!

I leaned the Hi and Low to clean up the transition and then just left them.. The last full power blast yielded a 7200 rpm with a 22-8 Xoar prop! Idle solid at 1800...

My first Thrust measurement test yielded 25 pounds on my Walmart electronic fish scale.. (So take that for whats it worth..) :-)

I have a few little issues to address but I think the rest of the breakin will be done in the air! I can't wait till next weekend!!
