Status: offline 		I recently got a Tower Hobby Trainer for a .40 engine. I have a .40 Super Tigre and have a few questions

What type of fuel do I use? (10% 15% or 20%)
What size prop will be most efficient? The Super Tigre manual lists about 8 different ones. How do I choose??

Any other tips related to this airplane are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Electrolight

The recommended prop for break in is 10x6. You might as well try that out for starters, and then maybe experiment with a 10x7 or 11x4.

Status: offline 		The Super Tiger GS-40 runs just fine on a 10 X 6 prop. I've had the same 10 X 6 MAS on mine mounted to a Sky Raider for 2 seasons with 6+ gallons of fuel through it and its running like a champ. If the speed is too much, you can run a 10 X 5 also, but try the 10 X 6 first.
