Head and fuel combo for Killer Bee
Working on my Franken-Hyper Viper. Got a .051 Killer Bee for nose ballast. I was wondering what glow-plug/fuel to use? Do I go with a high-compression head? If so, how much nitro? Do I just use a standard head and higher nitro? How many gaskets? Still new to all of this so all these things are confusing to me...looking for some wisdom. Not looking to build a screamer...just something that'll fly decent. As a bonus...what's the best way to break this combo in for how it is to be used? Per Cox instructions or something different since it may be a non-standard configuration?
Thanks,
Rob

1 gasket, 35% nitro w/20-22% oil and an APC 4.5x4 prop. The 4.2x4 prop is even better, but over-revs the engine and requires even more frequent resets. If you read the Cox instructions, they give RPM numbers and other good info.
