Does a G62 Electronic ignition require a different sparkplug than a G62 Magnetio ignition or work better with a different sparkplug?
I have checked the engine forum for this question and found nothing. Thanks for your help.

I use NGK BPMR7A in all my gas engines. It produces a powerful spark whether its 40 degrees or 90 degrees. I change all the sparkplugs every Spring and never have a problem.

When running a battery powered ignition, the spark plug is a little more important as you need to run the one that fits your spark plug cap.
Some of these have a bigger ceramic insulator.
The correct plug of choice is that mentioned in the previous post. NGK BPMR7A
or Champion RCJ7Y, Be careful about the insulator on some of these . . . AC CS42S, Autolite 2974, Nippondenso W22MFV, Bosch WRS5F . . .

Is the NGK BPMR7A the best performance for a G62 Electronic (battery) ignition or for a Magneto ignition?
I noticed for the G26 magneto ignition it uses a Champion RZ7C (CMR7H) and the G26i Battery ignition that one uses a Champion Y82 (CM-6).
I wonder what the reason is?

Bosch WSR6F, NGK BPMR6A, Maybe Champ RCJ7Y.
I said maybe on the Champ because I have seen 3 different lengths of porcelain on the same part number plug. The metal caps will only fit the shortest

The RCJ6Y is colder.
The RCJ8Y is hotter.
I use the RCJ8Y at high altitude with 91 octane gas thats got 10% ethanol in it. I would like to find "real" gas, but I don't think it exists in Colorado. The hotter plug and higher octane gives me a couple hundred RPM. I'm not saying that will work for you. It works for me, flying at 6000' altitude.

I have both the G62 on a mag and one on ignition (C&H) and I run the Champion RCJ7Y. This plug in a mid heat range plug (between the cold 6 and the hotter 8) and the plug works well for me. I used to live and fly in Denver and I now live and fly in San Antonio Tx and still use the 7 and have never had any plug problems.

You noted you would like to find a "good" gas. When I lived and flew in Denver (1990's), I would got to Jefco airport and buy 100 low lead avgas. I still buy and fly the 100 LL here in Tx and I have never looked back. The current price here in San Antonio is about $4.35 per gallon. It is a little more than you would pay for premium but I think it is worth it. The av gas has no smell so when I put it in the back of my truck I don't get that gas smell that you get from auto gas. It also has no ethanol. If you stilll want to go with a non aviation gas, Power Master is now selling pre mixed gas for model use. Power Master was recently purchased by Alllied Chemicals (they make the VP auto racing fuel and a lot of the Nitro used in this country) and they have invested quite a lot of time and money for this new line of fuels. I only know this because the distribution center for the fuels is in the San Antonio area and I get to talk to the sales people periodically. They have started advertising in a number of model mags so check their ad for the website.
Just my 2c.
