RE: first flight
DARKFLY,
The TD should run good with 15%-25% nitro and 20% lube, mostly castor. If I remember correctly, the Stunt Chimp is a bit small for that engine. Assuming this is correct, I would use a minimum of 35' lines with 42' (.008 or .012 steel wire) probably a better choice. Have you run engines before? Good luck with your Stunt Chimp. George |
RE: first flight
I have a cox PT-19 and modified it to that engine. I started using 40% and slowly went down but you DON"T want to go below 15%.
