For Spark plugs a deep 7/8th socket....

A good kit would be a set of A/F spanners up to an Inch in size, you won't need anything over that. Also the same with sockets from about 3/8th upto an Inch, normally a 3/8th drive.

I would also suggest a 1/4 drive set from 1/4 up to and including 9/16th.... A double depth set of the 1/4 drive would also come in handy up to 9/16th..

A mirror, torch, wire feeler gauges for the plugs, a normal set of feelers, snips, wirelocking pliers and a file for the prop blades will just about do most jobs......

and as said a ratchet screwdriver, a dumpy one too would be the icing on the cake, you will then have a kit that will cover most jobs on the Aircraft..
