Default J3 Cub prop to cowl spacing

Please, what is the proper distance between the cowl and the back of the prop for a J3 Cub, either 1/4 scale or full scale, unless the full scale distance scaled down is not good for a 1/4 scale model?

Thanks

On my 1/5 Scale Hangar 9 Cub I'e got about 3/32".

Just makes sure that the cowl is mounted rigidly or no amount of space is going to keep a loose cowl from running into a prop.

Just my $.02
