Default Fuel Issues

I just purchased a used Great Planes Big Stik 40 with an OS 0.46LA and the previous owner ran 10% nitro..I use 15% nitro in my other plane, will it be ok to use my 15%? Or will changing the fuel cause problems?

No problem at all so long as you retune the carb to suit whatever fuel you want to run.

You'll be fine with the the 15%. As was already said, you'll need to reset your needle. But other than that you shouldn't have any problems
