I have run a 1/2 gallon through my .75 is that enough?

HI Bob
Yes most likely it is, If you ran it in a 2 cycle-4 cycle to heat it up.
You can put it in the air and see how it acts, just go slow, If it bleeps 2 cycle at the tops of maneuvers and comes back very fast, its ready, if not it needs some run time. You can do this in air if you don't set the needle too lean.
Having that much fuel thru it you should be able to fly patterns
Remember you have to heat the motor up to do a proper breakin, Turn the needle in until you get it into a 2 cycle, let it run there for 10 to 15 seconds then turn it back to a very fast 4 stroke, this way you will breakin the motor at , or near the temp it will run at when flying.
If you don't do this your just wasting fuel and time
