Default RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition

Hello again;
I finally got some time to resume my testing. I see there has been some excellent advancements since I was tinkering around with you guys.

I still have not got to the point were I dont need the glow plug powered up all the time.

So today I went to the LHS but they did not have any of the prefered 10/10 blend so I picked up some SIG 10% nitro and 18% oil.

I mixed that 1 part sig fuel to 2 parts gasoline. I realize I am a little heavy on the oil but it should be pretty close. I still cannot run the motor without the glow plug powered up. It runs excellent with power on the glow plug but once the power is removed it dies pretty quickly.

Any comments on to what I am doing wrong here? 45cc homey.

On a side note I soldered a wire to the glow plug so I could use an onboard glow battery but the glow plug gets to hot and melts the solder off so I cannot fly until I get that worked out.
