Recommended for your Aquacraft is 30%, I use higher but you don't have to unless you want to race.

I have used 30% helifuel before from Wildcat and had no problem, just ensure you have a good oil content 16 to 18% is good.

you may have some ":driveability" issues with heli fuel. most have 22 to 24% oil, and some engines won't run clean with that much oil. you won't hurt it by trying, just might not turn up like it should.

I don't know how much oil the heli fuel from Cool Power has but I know for a fact that the Wild Cat Helimix has 18% Synt oil and works without any problem for a marine engine.

[8D]I have used the cool power heli fuel and it is fine. The oil content is 20% synthetic, no castor, so I just added 1 ounce klotz castor to a gallon of fuel. Worked fine no problem with the fuel.
