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.
