I am adding wheels to a 30 year old Ringmaster Jr. that I haven't flown in about 25 years. Its powered by a Fox .15. I'm looking for any suggestions on a good line length to fly the plane on, since I have no recollection at all how long the lines were the last time I flew it. I do remember it was very fast, but that was without wheels and a new engine. I was thinking of trying 52' x .015 but was concerned that might be too much. Any suggestions on line length would be appreciated.

52 x .015 will work fine.

Agreed, De, but .012 is better for a little Fox .15, assuming it is of the baffle variety.

My answer was this: Although for this setup, 52 by 012 might be better.

Noting that Currell answered two minutes before I did ("...for a little Fox .15, assuming it is of the baffle variety"), but I'd missed seeing that answer,

Insasmuch as the Schneurle Fox 15 dates to about 1978 or later, and that's only 24 years ago, not thirty, I opted to presume a plain old Fox 15X . . .
