Depends on what engine and what you plan on doing with it. Sport 40? , Three point hydro? K&B? OS?, OPS?

The type of motor is more important to know that the hull. Will you be using an ABC high performance marine motor, ringed sport motor, converted airplane motor or perhaps a four-stroke marine?

For an ABC high performance 7.5cc marine motor like an OS , OPS, Picco or K&B then 40% nitro fuel is fine.

The specs indicate that this is a hard chrome ABC motor with dual ball bearings, so that's good. The online picture shows a side exhaust motor in the tradtional airplane style, so it isn't a front or rear exhaust high performance type. I'd suggest 25% to 40% nitro fuels.
