Frequently Asked QuestionsThe way I have always done it is to actively adjust my engines during break-in.

Hover for a couple minutes then let it idle for a minute to cool down. Do this for a whole tank. Let the engine cool, then on the 2nd tank you can hover and move around (at a slow walking pace).
