Status: offline 		I'm looking for advice on the best glow plug to use on my OS 25, 35, and 46 AX engines. Have never changed the plugs since new and want to order some spares. I fly several times a week so it is a matter of time when one opens up and my spares are of unknown origin.

Looking at the OS #6 and OS #8 plugs, which one would be best for those engines? I like to do a lot of touch-an-go's so a good idle is required. The engines use the original mufflers with the baffle plates drilled out for less restriction. Wildcat Helimix 15% is the only fuel I use for my planes and flying ambient temperature is always between 80 and 100 degrees F. Not looking for maximum performance but do want maximum reliability. All advice appreciated.

OS 8 or Enya 3...but there is many more that works equally well like the Nova Rossi 4 or 4A, Rossi 3 or Merlin plugs!
