1/8” is typical.
As others have pointed out, all recent batches are very similar. 6/16 may not be the best batch out there.

Then worked my way up to 1800 turns on a 14" full motor(calculating 2524 to break) and while 3:30 was less than I've done before I actually got a proper type flight where the climb put me on the roof only a little early for cruise, a solid cruise and powered decent with turns left. Prior to this my lack of technique was getting me into long bumping sessions followed by dead stick landings from nearly the roof- I got 5 minutes that way but I now know thats not how its done.
