Default Picco fuel/prop selection

I just bought a Picco .40 airplane engine that hasn't been broken in. In fact I don't think that the engine has ever been run above idle. I don't believe that it's the quicky/pylon engine, but I do believe that the engine will still turn up pretty high. What fuel and prop do I use for this engine? Is there a specific prop and fuel I need to use during break in? I've searched all over the internet trying to find specs and info on this engine but no luck.


Thanks,

John

Use 5% nitro or none at all (FAI). Start with a 10/6 and go from there. It is a very high quality engine so break it in carefully and you will enjoy. I have the Skyward version.
