Glow Drivers
Silversurfer, jaka and Roby,
Thanks for the response. To answer your questions. I'm using an OS F plug with 10% nitro fuel. The engine is great and runs extremely well. But, it loads up on a long idle and when I go to high throttle it quits. If I adjust the settings to have a slightly fast idle it runs fine on the long idle. But, on the Rascal with its extremely light wing loading a fast idle keeps the darn plane flying. I have to use down elevator to land it. If there is wind blowing I pray I don't have to flare too hard or I do a real pretty touch and go. From research on the web, talking with club members, plus visiting my local LHS it appears a glow driver will keep the plug hotter therefore letting me set the idle a little lower. So I'm experimenting a little. If it works I was going to add the same driver to my Great Planes PT 19. I will be using a Satio 100 on this plane. Again my research shows the PT 19 is another plane that just wants to keep flying along.
Again thanks for the information. I'm going to wait a few more days before I make my final decision.
