    Status: offline     		Hi

    Is there a certain type of glow plug you need for heli's?
    I usually fly planes, but i am having ago at helis.
    I put an OS 8 in my heli (Thunder Tigre 39), I have one flight, then the plug won't work again.

    I really don't want to have 1 plug, 1 flight Will cost a fortune!

    Thanks

    That or you have a bearing coming apart. Examining the plug should give you your answer.

    It has been running lean though, the engine wouldn't run right so I was messing with it alot.

    Now I know why it's doing it anyway.

    Thanks
