Default 30% Heli fuel in OS 46FX?

I have an OS 46FX that I just bought an airplane for because I can't bring myself to part with it. My 1.60FX was hard enough to part with when I went to gas. Anyways, I was wondering if I could 30% Helicopter fuel in it or do I need to stick with something like 15%?

Why not adding some Castor oil and methanol and get down the nitro below 15% ?

I would like to run straight 30% fuel undiluted.

You can use the 30% heli fuel. As long as the engine's not run too lean, you'll be OK. You may need to add one or two additional cylinder head gaskets to prevent detonation, though.
