Default Looking for best glow plug for Ofna Force 26.

I have been through a few glow plugs lately. I have been using !QUOT! airplane !QUOT! plugs. I need to get a couple of more and I wanted to know the best one for the Ofna Force 26?

I have a Force .25 - OFNA told me that the Force engines can not and will not run using ANY OS plugs. I told them all I have is OS #8 - they said won't work at all, need a longer plug.[:@]

I have it being borke in right now and I have it running using an OS #8 plug. I went to a model shop today and asked what cars they sell with that engine, they showed me a coupel and said they always use the OS #8 with the Forece engines. So I just bought 2 more OS #8's for the Force engine as spares. JMO

As I said the model shop I went to today said all they use are the OS #8's and that is what I am running in the engine. I was surprised when they said that.

I have the 9.5 RTR - bought it before leaving the US. Took engine out and had buggy shipped to me later. Engine never came with glow plug. It was missing - So I put a #8 in. I read few places about OFNA saying they don't work. So I called OFNA tech support and they said in the Force engines they are not long enough. Seems to work fine to me. Kind of weird.

Well here's a bizarre factoid. I just received a 9.5 with the .26 Picco engine. In the box was a glowplug that was labelled "For use in a .12 class engine". OS#8 sounds fine by me.

Most glow plugs can be used - .12 .15 .21 all works in many different motor sizes.
