RE: Super Tigre Engines
Agreed. I found that the OS #8's and A3's made a noticeable improvement in my Super Tigre engines over the ST plug. Then I just decided to buy the OS engines.

Point of note......You can use any O.S. glowplug that suits your needs. We tend to use the O.S. #6 (old A3) or #8 glowplugs with no problems. In fact, we believe that the O.S. #8 glowplug is just about the best general-purpose glow plug you can use. With low-nitro fuels (0% or 5%), the #6 is a good one to try. We use O.S. plugs all the time and strongly recommend them.

Are you not recommending your own plug?

However, I agree with him

RE: Super Tigre Engines
I would assume so!
I would also assume there is a reason for the longer plugs used on the SuperTigre, Tower Hobbies, and other engines manufactured ( supposedly ) in the same plant.
In practice, the longer plug keeps the coil out of any fuel pooling, especially with an inverted mount engine.
Substituting the shorter O.S. plug removes this advantage.
