Default Prop / breaking in the engine

When running in an engine it's best to use a small prop to keep the load down on the conrod bushes. This lets you use a rich enough mixture but still get about the same revs as it'll turn later on when peaked out. The mixture should be set so it's just barely above the point where it switches from 4 stroking to a clean 2 stroke and no leaner.
