Default 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!

The McCoy MC-9 is hard to beat. It is also sold under the Hangar 9 label but is still referred to as an MC-9.

OS #8 for 2-strokes. Sometimes an engine prefers a K&B Long Idle Bar so I keep a couple of those handy. OS type F for 4-strokes. Those are all I ever need.

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.
