Default Cox TD 09 Fuel

What fuel should I run in a cox TD 09? I haven't run anything this size in years and use to use the cox glow fuel, but it's no longer available.
Thanks Jim

SIG make a 15% nitro with 20% pure castor oil blend that will work fine. Like most steel cylinder/piston 2C engines, they really like 100% pure first press castor oil as there lubricant in a ratio of 20-25% of volume, and nitromethane of between 10-35% per volume, the rest is pure methanol.

I mix my own....

My standard summer mix is 20% nitro, 25% castor, and 55% methanol.

I run Sig Champion 10% nitro, 20% oil 50/50 castor/synthetic. Couple thousand flights on Shark 15, Jr. Flitestreak, etc. I have run higher nitro fuel but I find the 10% to run fine. Run a Cox 7 x 3.5 or APC 7 x 3 and turn loose at around 15,000.

I've been using Sig 25% 1/2A fuel from Tower on all my Cox engines, including, .010s, .049s, and .09 with good results so far.
