Default How much lube for fuel?

I got a Jett Q500 and I am just wondering, how much lube do those of you who are into competitive flying have in your fuel? I got some Klotz to try it out and my Byron 15% nitro semi has about only 16% lube. Hope some of you can assist me. Is also hot and humid here. Thanks!

Amon of synthetic or castor used is std. 18%. So you re looking for 15% nitro with oil content around 18%

Sorry let me make this somewhat simple we use Power Master 15% in the hot weather with no problems let the plane go 500- 800 RPM below peak.

You ought to contact Jett and see what they recommend for their engines.
