Status: online 		Depends on the engine, glow plug, air pressure, ambient temperature, elevation, MANY factors. 16% is the norm for 1/10th (.12 engines), 20% is ok if your club allows it. 33% is not a good idea in a small engine. Stick with 16%, you'll never be able to understand the performance difference in a competition motor, provided it is correctly tuned. It is also harder to tune the higher percentage you use.
