DLE Break In Gas/Oil Mix
I bought a Brand New DLE 55, no manual; this is my first gasser; I will be using Stihl HP Ultra Oil; I have read a bunch of info on Types of Oil, GAS OIL Ratios, etc, etc; what would be good ratio to first Break-In this engine and ratio there after?
I bought the convenient 6.4oz bottles of oil, and when mixed with 2 gallons of gas gives a 40:1 ratio, or mixed with 2.5 gallons for 50:1; which would be the proper ratio after Break-In 40:1 or 50:1; and run a richer ratio like 32:1 for Break-In, running one or two tanks of this mix through the engine first?
Thanks, aren't you glad I didn't ask what type of oil to use!

RE: DLE Break In Gas/Oil Mix
Just run it with a good branded synthetic anywhere from 30:1 to 50:1 from the start and fly the thing. Just get cooling sorted before getting into high engine stress flying.
