Ok cool. Well break in is going perfectly. It's like this engine was waiting for me this whole time. LOL. I pre heated the first 12 tanks. The engine stalled one time 15 seconds after the first start. Hasn't stalled since then. Had the head wrapped with foil and a 10th scale truck tire foam till tank 10. It has been running steady and predictable like Novarossi's do.

I have another half gallon till the one gallon mark which should be tonight or early tomorrow. Then I'll take it to the track saturday morning for some practice and pipe/clutch tuning. I wish I had ordered this in time for the Futaba challenge this past weekend. I would have made the expert A main for sure instead of BQ with my backup oval engine. LOL.

This baby will rock up in Omaha, NE for the RC Pro race at the end of August.
