S W E E T ! Why was I flying the 450 all this time? This 600n pro kit is just awesome. Just curious on how much tanks is everyone else going through before tweaking a little more HP out of this OS 50 Hyper? Please give me your opinions.

I only have one tank on mine, going to finish the breakin today. I personally would run 3 to 4 tanks rich leaning it out a few clicks at a time.

TheBum · 02-23-2008, 08:31 AM

I'm planning to maiden mine this weekend. I plan to put about 4 tanks through it to break it in. I've heard a good way to do a quick break-in is to alternate between hovering and landing/idling.

Street Flyer · 02-23-2008, 11:18 AM

I went a little over board and used a whole gallon to break in mine.

Walker76 · 02-23-2008, 11:25 AM

I'm starting to lean it after 5 tanks on the rich side.

Welcome aboard guys, you made the right choice, if you have somewhere to fly it you will not fly anything else, I just leave it in the car and only bring it in to charge the lipo.

4-5 tanks is about it and take it easy.

Wassup Vroomazoom, I just picked up a 600 Nitro from Alohas too...Finished building her, but waiting on the gyro, servos and the gov too...do you fly with Sheldon at Halawa Park too?

aussiemick · 03-03-2008, 12:50 AM

I had 1 1/2 turns for the first 4 flights then wound the needle valve in 2 clicks per flight till I got to a little bit less than 1 1/4 turns. I can still keep my finger up the bum end of the engine for ages it is only a few degrees warmer than ambient, I can probably lean it up a bit more yet.

I have subsequently turned the low end in about 10deg to help in winding up to speed.

Sometimes I go to Halawa, but mostly at the Kawainui Swamp. I fly airplanes too.

Mercuriell · 03-09-2008, 04:37 PM

The OS HYper 50 being a ringed engine doesn't need long breakins like non ringed piston engines - just time for everything to bed in - I reckon about 4 tanks rich on ~ 1 1/2 needle turns - check the head temp (<90°C) then start leaning up a click at a time.

Shakes268 · 03-09-2008, 07:00 PM

Finally got mine out of the way today. 5 tanks through it. Love it!! Everything worked great, no issues.

manike · 03-09-2008, 07:03 PM

What head temp shows you are at the right point with the engine?

I'm probably at 12-15 tanks now and still running rich. I have a slight hesitation at spool up, but otherwise runs and flies great!

vroomazoom · 03-09-2008, 08:27 PM

Just curious at what kind of gov is everyone using and whats your headspeeds that you set up for? With that in mind, whats your flight times at?

I'm using a Multigov and its set up at the default settings which is 1800 for normal and 1900 for idle up, my needle is at 4 clicks leaner from 1 1/2 turns out, on my 7th tank and having 8 minutes flight time in just forward flight (feeling my heli out first before attempting 3d). My buddies suggested using 2150 for idle up.

Shakes268 · 03-09-2008, 08:35 PM

Pretty much same as you. Multigov with the normal mode set up as a limiter, 1800 RPM.
5 tanks through it, just hovering and I was getting around 8 minutes or so but I'm still fairly rich.

I have not done any FF with it but my multigov is set up for 1900 in idle 1 and 2050 in idle 2.
