I have one plane that has 400+ flights, over 70 hours total flight time, that is still on the original glow plug in it. It's an OS 56 4-stroke with an OS "F" type glow plug.

Although i think we can saftly say dont count on this, MOST plugs dont get really that much time on them.
Why not? I only used 1 new glow plug last summer. If you don't run your engine too lean there is no reason in the world that they won't last for a long time. Another thing that can shorten glow plug life is leaving the glow driver on the plug for long periods. I'm not saying that glow plugs will last forever, but if somebody is going through glow plugs quickly there is probably a reason why.
