Thanks for the info Phil, I too am coming up on first engine start and this
is a comforting thought. I was concerned about break-in and not running on
the ground too long. But....I was also concerned that although my airpark
has a nice 4000 foot long runway it's only 50 feet wide and the entire area
is surrounded by trees. I'm gonna print out your experience and paste it on
the hangar wall. That way I'll be sure to have the engine running like a
top before I fly!

By ignoring those that said "run it once on the ground and then fly it
hard" I managed to both survive and have a fine running engine.
