Glowplugs burn out. They burn out from contaminants in the fuel, too lean a run, plug voltage too high, vibration and sometimes I think just to annoy you. It's just a fact of life so carry a couple of spares.
In that case Im gonna need the warehouse. Out of the past 5 days of flying, Ive put in 5 plugs. Each before the first flight. Im thinking that its got to be something with my fuel mixture or something. But then again, thats why Im asking. I dont really know.

Are you sure you are not using too much voltage to light your plug?
