Default Sig 1/4 scale Cub w/OS 160FT

I'm about to fly my new 1/4 scale Sig Cub with an OS 160FT engine and, I would like some input on the best fuel and props to use. Thanks, Charlie.

Assuming that this is not a clipped wing Cub, a
16X6 prop will work fine along with Cool Power
fuel or any 15% four stroke fuel, e.g., Byron.

1/4 Scale Cub, clipped to 100" span, 14lbs, FT160, 18X10 prop, 10% cool power with a splash of castor oil. Flies with authourity, but an 18X8 would give better vertical.

CG on the SIG Looking at the drawings it is about 1/32 in front of the center line of the screw that secures the two sections of the wings together.
