RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition
Planepounder, your supposed to use 1 part 10/10 glow fuel and 2 parts premium gasoline, make a glowplug adapter, use a 4 stroke glow plug, richen the needles and away you go, as for the 10/10 fuel, in my first runs i actually used some 20% nitro / 12% oil fuel from a car/truck that i had laying around and it worked fine.
KI8FR my engine only starts backwards about 10% of the time while using a chicken stik, i have a nylok nut on the shaft so i don't have to worry about it coming loose, i'm sure with a starter the chance of starting backwards would be reduced.
