TD crowd?? let's see, I have two Kombat Kittens with a TD 049 and a TD051. A Lil Satan with a TD049. I also flew 1/2A speed when younger. I also flew a little 1/2A pylon racer with a TD 051. I guess that might make me part of the "TD crowd". I found very little loss of power using the glow plug adapter. I used a hot plug and high nitro fuel (Cox Red can). Still DO.
