Okay, well I got a O.S. .12 CV-R and I need to know what is a good glow plug for this engine? I am running 20% fuel if that helps.

Yeah just get the O.S type plugs. But what plug you use depemds on the fuel you are using. 20%or higher nitro contents you would need a medium to cold plug. For 30% use a cold plug. For 20% a medium to hot plug will work reall well. For 10% use a hot plug.
The hotter a plug is the more power you get out of it. The colder plug retards the ignition which gives less power. If your only bashing then a cold to medium plug should work fine since you dont need that extra power that the hot plug gives you.
Hoped I helped you in some way.

Make sure whatever you get is a short plug. A standard long plug (like a McCoy MC-59) will protrude too far into the combustion chamber and may strike the piston. For 20% fuel use an A3. It is an affordable "hot" range plug.
