Fuel tubing size for YS FZ120
I'm getting ready to retrofit my (overweight) 1/4 scale Laser 200, which currently has a YS FZ91, with a new YS FZ120 for more oomph. The plane has been plumbed with standard/medium fuel tubing and I was wondering if I need to use large tubing with the FZ120, at least for the fuel feed line (this is my first FZ120). What's the consensus...is large fuel tubing needed or is standard OK?
Also, what's a good aerobatic prop for it? I'm planning on starting off with an APC 15x10 and go from there...looking for a good mix of thrust and speed.
Thanks in advance for the input!

Look at the size of the hole in the fitting the fuel line slips over. Not much point in going any bigger than that.
