Default DA-50 Octane/drill size

Few more things to do and I am ready to take my first step of putting the plane airborne. But first....What OCtane do guys use for DA-50 and what size drill bit for mounting the prop?
Thanks
Brett

the mid grade is what DA recommends. thay are 5mm screws so you would need a drill a few thousandths larger. I got mine runing this week but I have run in to RF problems and hade to send my ignition modual back.

It says here in my DA50 manual, "Low to mid grade gas is recomended. High octane may be beneficial only when using tuned exhaust systems".
