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.

Don't argue with me, go find them and argue with them. I'm just repeating what they said in the model mags in the Seventies and Eighties. Personally, I hate the sound the little buggers make so much that I haven't ran an .049 since I ran my OK Cub .049 Diesel twenty or thirty years ago. Now that was a good sounding .049. <G>
By the way, I was referring to the 1/2A speed crowd that flew in national competition. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?
