Hi Bob,
I have had good results with the Thunderbolt plug, Powermaster 10/22 fuel with 9x5 props. I used the APC 9x5 to get CG where I wanted it on the Flite Streak ARF.
I found that 3 oz. tank gave close to 9 minutes of run time with rpm at about 9200. I used uniflow metal tank, no muffler pressure, great runs.
As far as break-in, I followed the instructions EXACTLY and have had no problems, with the B25 or B40.
My break-in instructions said to do lots of short runs, with cool-down between runs. I think I did 18 or 20 two minute runs with five minutes or a little longer between runs. If I remember correctly, I used a wood 9x4 prop with a wet two cycle run for the break-in.
Don't remember needle setting, but would suggest 3 or 4 turns open to begin with, adjust as needed after starting.
Jim
