15% at pretty much the lowest, 25-30% is most commonly ran. at least 20% oil, no less than half of the oil may be synthetic.
lots of us use sig champion 25

Sig has always been my go to fuel, when available. If an .049 plane performs marginally on 15% nitro even if optimally propped with a Tee Dee head, going to 25% has corrected that for me.
