15% nitro is pretty hot for that compression ratio.... I can understand the "one mix for all" point of view., it makes it a lot easier to manage, especially when you run various glow engines often.... I only run the one engine on CDi / Methanol Glow fuel, so I have the one glow fuel mix for the boxer ,14% oil, 8% nitro, 78% methanol... I typically run between 5 - 10 % nitro in the glow 4 strokes.
Yes, I know the "flyer" of which you speak.
RE nitro: It's my understanding that nitro has little to no effect on engines equipped with CDI. A little more oxygen is brought in with nitro so a tiny bit more power is produced but I haven't heard of any other effects. My 200Ti ran on 15% nitro and GI with no evidence of detonation, even when overly leaned and using the Xoar 18x8.
