ORIGINAL: Lynn S
What fuel to use? do I need to run the same fuel as the .049- .074?
What size fuel tank is best? and what size prop?
Thanks, Lynn
Hi Lynn --

10 to 15% fuel will be fine. 15/16 or 15/18 with an 80/20 syn/castor mix will work well. You really don't need more than 15% nitro and the castor requirements are reduced.

6 oz is a nice middle of the road tank -- 4 oz. would be a little small. 6 oz should give you 16 to 17 minutes, more at reduced throttle.

8-6 to 10-4, but these are the extreme ranges, expecially the 10-4; 9-4 or 9-6 would be a good starting point.
