Hey folks...any thoughts on breaking in these engines in a stand? I ask because A) I have a break in stand I've used for a number of years, and B) I have so little time to get out and run cars these days, but could do the run in here at night if doing it on a stand is a viable option.

Don't want to waste a good engine, but I don't want to spend my outdoors driving season breaking in a single engine either.

I've also thought about getting something easier to break in and holding the Go until I have the time, but I'd love to see it flying across a parking lot sooner than later.

If the stand is an option, any thoughts on how to proceed? I've always just used a version of Ron Paris' heat cycle method on the stand, but the Go's seem to like a different method for their run in. I could hook up a receiver and throttle servo and run it like it's on the ground if that would help, I just don't have a good feel for how a prop load translates to an actual car on the ground load.

Any and all help, ideas, experiences, etc would be greatly appreciated.
