Default RE: Left-over Nitro fuel in glow engine planes

Hello MTK,

The plane I'm using currently is Hangar 9's P51 Mustang PTS MKII, everything is the same there except for RX and TX. It has Evolution engine PTS which is around .45 ci. Infact I have not found any problem with it running as I'm using 15% Nitro mixed fuel. I had a plan to fly tomorrow, but there is a weather advisory saying the wind may reach upto 22Mph so, [:@][:@][:@] tomorrow I won't be able to fly.

My second plane is Great Planes Escapade ARF, which I've completed almost 70% and as I should have had my engine JBA .56 2 Stroke, as per e-mail of the owner that it's been lost in shipping by USPS, so he said he's gonna send me another engine which I'm supposed to get this week prolly end of this week. First thing I gotta do with that engine is to break in which I was told over here by senior member that for break in I gotta use 10% Nitro and prolly 11X6 engine for more rpm and gotta run at least 3 tanks, then it would start running better and I guess am not sure, after 8 tanks I would start running it lean with 15% Nitro. Well summer is about to arrive but outta blue winter kicked back in and Temperature is in 30's now. Anyway, Do I have to continue with 15% or go for 10% as nasty heat of Texas is coming up.

Thanks

Mody
