For the H9 i hope you mean a hyper .21 and not a .12.

For the BV-1 around 15% is a safe place to start.

The force and hyper .21 will be fine with 20%.

You can bump the BV-1 up to 20% and the force or hyper up to 25%-30% but they will have to all be shimmed up one tiny notch if you want to do it properly.

All 3 engines will run fine with OS #8 medium plugs. Very common and easy to find at most lhs's.
