Glow Plugs.......
« on: December 05, 2018, 12:23:57 PM »
What does everyone run for glow plugs? Their favorite? Best performance?

Just bought a Brodak .40 and was wondering what everyone suggests..?

   Just do a search on here on glow plugs and you'll find all sorts of stuff. Recently was discussed when Sonic Tronics had there Black Friday sale. They make the Glow Devil brand. I prefer the Glow Devil R/C long. Another favorite for a lot of people is the Thunderbolt long, R/C long, and their four stroke plug. They were not available for a while but I believe they have been brought back by someone. Your search should bring that up. For most stunt engines you want a hot range plug, especially for engines where you run a lot of oil.
  Type at you later,

I bought some Thunderbolt plugs recently. They have worked well for me in the sport/stunt engines that I have been flying. (I think this is the spinoff operation after Hobby People closed?)

   I would also suggest the Thunderbolt 4-cycle/big bore plug. We always got a touch more power/could run slightly richer using the 4-cycle.

Enya # 3 works great with my 5% homebrew and my B.40 and LA 46.
The Sound they both make tells me , they like the plug very much.

I use the O'Donell Red (hot) plug, or the Mc Coy # 55 or 59 plugs.

They all work great on my OS, Enya, and K&B motors.
