18-6 to a 18-10 prop. They run best on straight FAI fuel(no nitro) The more nitro the fuel has the hotter they run. Thr tigre carb is adequate but if you can get your hands on an O.S 7D carb it will give at least 3 or 4 hundred more RPM and a little smoother throttle transition. I never had the need for a pump with mine as long as you don't get to carried away with the tank location. Hope this helped.

Combination works well but does result in a nose heavy airplane. Mine came out at 15lb plus -- had to put about 8ozs of lead on tail.
I broke mine in using Wild Cat 15% sports fuel, about 64ozs on the ground. I burned another 16ozs of Tower Hobby 15% sport fuel cut with 50% of pure methonal. Idle was good. High-end was very good, and transistion was smooth.
Unfortunately I inadvertantly allowed it to run dry of fuel. It fell like a rock -- did not have enough altitude to angle it back to the field.
My new plane will get a Moki 1.80 instead.
