Hi Gene.

The only real reason I like S&W, well, two reasons.. I was "brought up" on it and because my instructor used it.. ok, four reasons.. the local hobby shop carried it and the shop was just a couple miles from the house and field, and because S&W is a "short" drive from here. We often get together and buy it by the truck-load and save a few bucks.

Other than that, well, I'd use whatever came across the counter top. I don't really have a "scientific" preference.

As far as glow plugs is concerned, well, the OS AX's seem to come with the OS8 so I pretty much stick with it.

Dick.
