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.

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%.
