Default Thunder Tiger Pro 46 - Dead stick

OK,

Went to the LHS and purchased a couple of K&B glow plugs.
I think these are hotter that the Fox plug that I was using.
Reset the low end idle to 2/3 out from close.
Opened the high end 2 1/2 turns from close.

Started it, ran great.
Adjusted the high end a little.
Idled and ran great at the high end.
Transitioned great.
Put the nose of the plane up, no problem.
Pinched the fuel line and it ran for several seconds then started to gain RPMs.

The plug has made the difference.

No more Fox plugs for me. :disappoin

I still need to fly the plane to give a final approval but am happy for now.
