RE: glow fuel what the different % mean
Most of the time they are referring to the percentage of nitromethane in the fuel. But sometimes they can be referring to the percentage of oil in the fuel. You will have to assume they are talking about nitromethane unless they specifically mention oil?
The bigger engine generally best use a lower nitro fuel than the little small engines.
For a big OS engine 5% would probably be better?

If the OS manual allows 15% in that engine, you can try it, but I think its a waste of money. If you need that last couple of hundred rpm, you have the wrong engine in that plane.
