Hello David,  in response to your quandry about oil mix, I would like to
recomend you consider Amsoil's 100-1 mix.  They offer specialized 2 cycle
oils, and theSaaber Professional 100-1 pre-mix will do you well.  You can
mix 70-1 if you feel you want a little extra protection, and then as you
break in, and gain cofidence try the 100-1.  The 100-1 will probably give
better performance, and there is less dilution of the fuel, and  you will
still have good protection.  This product is available from a distribution
center near you, if interested in obtainins some, e-mail me at
dservice@comcast.com.   Happy flying,   Duane Service
