I have had good luck with the Merlin plug. I think their standard stunt plug is #2005. I order direct or sometime thru Randy.  8)

  I have pretty much only used the Thunderbolt 4-cycle plug for many years now. The R/C plug works OK Ted found that the 4-cycle generally gives a little more "power" and that has been my experience as well.   I ran the Glo-Devil #300 for years in the 40VF, and it works OK in the PA61. The Enya #3 works fine but is no better than the Thunderbolt 4-Cycle and it costs 3x as much (and also has to have the electrode ground down to work with my starter battery). I ran the Merlin for about a day and it ran OK but my battery would not stay attached.

Another very good plug is the T-Bolt  BIG BORE 2 and 4 cycle, It works very well in many other motors too

This is what I have been using for the past year or two, I like it.

In most PAs I use the T Bolt RC long or Glo Devil in the cool months, and the Big Bore the rest of the year
