I tried a hotter plug and found the engine idles at lower rpm than with the medium plug, this makes sense to me because I am only running on 5% nitro and actually I would like to go down to zero nitro and see how she runs.

Due to bad weather I haven't tried the top end yet but it was pretty darn good with a medium plug but idling was a a problem, I'll try again tomorrow.
Jesse, having put some thought into what you said I maybe getting mixed up between advance and retard or early detonation with a hot plug, but then I am a learner so the reason for raising the thread in the first place.
