I use Byron's 25% 1/2A fuel (straight castor) with extra oil added to bring it up to 20% total oil content in .010's, .020's and .049's with good results. I add extra head gaskets to reduce the compression a little on the .020's and .049's

Having said that, I ran one of my .010's a couple weeks ago on some 35% nitro/25% castor fuel and boy, it ran GOOD!

I am really liking the Sig Champion 35% I bought last year. I run it straight (with a little extra castor) or mix 50:50 with cool power 15% to give a 25% nitro blend that I run in my 049's. I run the straight 35% in my 020.
