I have purchased a new YS 110 the paperwork with this engine says nothing about brake in. Sense it is a ringed motor I chose to run it blubbering fat for about 18oz or so of fuel and then leaned out, but still running bout 3 to 4 clicks rich on high speed needle valve. On the break in (run bench bolted down and set in concrete!) I used a 17x4W and 20/20 fuel. Anyone have a preferred method that may be better for this pulling Clydesdale? Also I am concerned about my choice of airplane for this motor. I have mounted it in a Model Tech Excite 90. Our club has run benches that have uprights to contain airplanes on run up and tuning. The upright will contact the wing about 3 to 4 inches from the wing tips. Will this motor pull the wings off at full throttle? Or would having someone hold it be better?
Regards,
Cris

You can never have too much power. You can however, have to much throttle stick. Throttle management is the key when overpowering planes. You should be just fine, be ready for a rocket. I don't beleive the wings will rip off, but for safety, if the wings are only held at the tips, you should have a spotter hold your plane.

Thanks, I assume that you are talking about flying the plane to fast, when you say too much throttle stick. LOL Thanks for answering so fast.

It depends on the type of flying that you do, but it is excellent in a Funtana 90 if you like 3-D, and it's great in a GP Super Skybolt. and it will give unlimited vertical to a GP extra 300 (60 size)

That's a good engine for that plane. It won't rip the wings off but if you let me try it I might be able to fold them doing a blender.

As for break-in....just fly it a little rich, two or three clicks and after about twenty flights you'll be able to lean it out a little more. You'll notice the fuel consumption go down when it breaks in also, untill then it'll really drink it down. Just keep an eye on the color of the oil residue and don't let it get dark.

Thank you! So far no black in oil residue, that’s a good thing.

The price was right for this Excite 90. The Funtana 90 is a gorgeous plane and I think it will be my next 3D. Thank for you input.

The YS 110 enjoys fuel blends of 20% and up nitro. It can get a little cranky with less than 20%.

Not true.

I have always used 15% cool power in my YS engines and they love it.

Ditto. YS engines will run fine with only 15% nitro. The 110 is not as finicky as other earlier engines.
