Hello,
today a friend of mine called me up that i havent spoken to in a while...he told me that he started flight training and he bought a very nice well maintained warrior from another person based at our airport...
Just before he bought it the plane had a brand new engine put in it, and has a fresh annual...my friend, since he doesnt have his license yet said the mechanics told him the plane needs to be flown to break the engine in, so he told me if i wanna fly ther plane anytime i could...
He told me that the mechanics told him the proper way to break in the warrior engine is to run it at high rpms, dont let it idle for long periods of time, and dont climb hard or do slow flight ect ect....pretty much said to just fly it fast and use full rich on the mixture as well....does this seem about right or is my friend gonna hurt his brand new engine..
If it matters its a 160 hp warrior ( i think they all are) but im not to fam,ilier with engine codes or anything so that about all the info i can give about the plane..
