Can anyone suggest what type of glow plugs to use on OS 40 fp
They are being used in a four engined C-130 mounted inverted, using on board glow upto 25% tthrotle running10 % nitro w/castro on 11 X 4 apc props I ran a variety of plugs before and with toledo coming up I thought it would be great to get couple of opinions on what to use

Mr. Lee,
Can't go wrong with OS #8.

Mr. Lee I would have to agree you cannot go wrong with the originial specified plug: OSMG2691 Glow Plug #8 Standard Long

OS #8 is the plug for all my 2 stroke engines...

Personally I like the OS #8 plugs as well for all my two stroke engines. Don't care too much for Fox plugs or at least I haven't had much success with them on two strokes.

At the Kitchener scale rally about 3 years ago I purchased 6 WildCat Fuels glow plugs and they proved to be very good quality plugs but are about the same price as the OS and are harder to find. So I figured I might as well stick with the best and the easiest to get so its OS for me!

In my .15 sized engines (all OS) I actually use an OS A3 plug with great success.

All other 2 strokes have OS #8
All 4 strokes use the Hangar 9 for bench break in and the OS #F for flight.

The OS #8 resides in all my 2 strokes. My engines are from .50 to 2.10 size. Never skipped a beat.

i like idler bar plugs, but i they're pretty much all i've used, and i admit i'm a little inexperienced.

Idle bar plugs like the K&B and fox do tyend to work better in the older style cross scavenged (non schneurle) engines. In a cl engine it doesnt much matter, but in an older rc engine with a baffled piston, they tend to keep the fire lit.

They dont seem to be needed in "modern" ported engines as the gas charge is delivered not directly at the glowplug.
