Has anyone else tried these plugs?

I started my NGH26 this morning without warming it up with ignition.I am surprised how well it idled.
OS advises not to idle their engine less than 3000RPM. I think it is because their engine is so small,
My 26cc will idle about 2000 with no trouble
You will barely see the gas glo plug light up with 1.2 volts. So not try and make it glo bright,will burn it out.Got to fly Fri was beautiful day. The Dl 30 gas glo would not hand start in the cooler weather first start of the day.Used a starter and started right up.After first start ,hand started fine the rest of the day.I think OS says not to even try hand starting.The DLE 30 will start backwards part of the time.Found out you do not want to crank it too hard just normal flip through.When flipped really hard I think it goes through one and far enough into the second turn to start backwards.T hats my threrey and I sticking to it.We pretty well proved buy slowing down the hand flip and start right way every time. My friend likes to start my motors and he cranks them like a mad man.Slowed him down and starting was much better. It was hard for fliers there to believe this.The more it started backwards the harder he flipped it. LOL.Flew the new VV 20 a couple of flights on spark.I will try it on glo gas but I am going to leave it on spark,runs and starts so nice.
BCCHI Tired old CH guy.Will send your parts tomorrow.
