Importance of engine break-in ?
I'm pretty old school when it comes to engines, and believe that patience is a virtue regarding setting everything up on engines just right but recently, I've heard conflicting rumors that as new/ modern model aircraft engines are test run enough at the factory, to go ahead, mount your new engine and fly right out of the box as they've already.[8D]
Obviously there could be several factors to these rumors such as manufacturer of these new engines ie: 2 or 4 stroke, etc.
the New evolution engines for example are said to be good to go, but what about something like a Magnums, or OS ?
I have a new Magnum 91FS and am tempted to simply run it rich and fly, but I don't want to damage the engine or potentially loose a plane over being impatient.
Any thoughts on the factory break-in/ run proceedures vs. break-in at home ?
i'm interested to know what others out there are doing
