Thunderbolt R/C Long Glo Plug Substitutes?
Hey Guys...
I just bought a new engine (Well, not actually "NEW", but Never Been Run), and I have a question about the Glo Plug. It's a Magnum Pro ABC 45 engine and a Thunderbolt R/C Long Glo Plug is recommended for it. I'm sticking it on an Ultra Sport 40+. However, I've heard that Enya Glo Plugs are some of the best ones out there, so I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a comparable Enya Plug for the Thunderbolt R/C Long Glo Plug. I'm new to RC Airplanes, so any advice I can get on a good setup for the engine would be a great help. If you guys would like to reccomend any other brands, that would be great too. Thanks in advance!

my experience with glow plugs is that if an engine is inverted you want to use a medium hot plug with a idle bar. if the engine is upright in its normal position than a glow plug without an idle bar is excellent. i've had no problems with thunderbolt glow plugs on my planes.
