Hi,
thats good info, I will be installing more inverted engines and will take this into account. We were using a onboard glow system on our inverted engines , is that still done with using the 4c plugs, eather 4c or 2c inverted or is there a better system or way to keep the glow in the glow plug???
This is great, thanks. Things have changed, but this helps a lot, don't feel like its going to be that hard with all this help at my finger tips.
I've never really have had any problems with inverted engines and the majority of my planes have inverted mount engines.
Since I purchased a bunch of the Fox Miracle plugs last year, I've used them in most of my inverted engine installs.
I find that you need to be a bit more careful tuning the engine when it is inverted, but that's about the only problem I've come accross.
I purchased an on-board glow system for one engine/plane, that was a bit tempermental at first... but after I ran about a gallon through the engine I found that it became very well behaved so I've never installed the onboard ignitor on any plane.
