Default RE: Introduction to Glow Engines

Just a couple of comments.

First the para about Fuels. The basic fuel for glow is just methanol but can be mentioned that nitro is a normal additive to make a more powerful fuel.

Second is the para on Ignition. Once the engine is running there's a catalytic reaction between the methanol (not nitro) and the platinum coil in the plug.
