Break in procedure

Full power for takeoff and climb during the break-in period is not harmful and is actually beneficial. Use cruise power settings above 65%, and preferably in the 70% to 75% of rated power range, to achieve a good engine break-in. Be mindful of engine temp to prevent overheating.
