Glow plugs

[blizzardwarrior7]

i just aqcuired another new engine, a magnum .70, which i already own 2 of. But i forgot to order a four stroek glow plug, i really would like to use the engine today, can i jsut use a 2 stroke plug, ???!?!?

Not a good idea, unless you have a hot long reach one - like the Hangar 9 2-stroke hot glow plug (I have 2 of these, but I also have a couple of #F spares). Get the glow plug from one of your other 4-stroke Magnums and use it in the new engine - you won't be flying ALL your planes with 4-stroke engines TODAY, aren't ya? ;)

Aww, i guess the shoestring can be flown another day :(. Thanks IvanC

4 stoke plugs are longer and hotter that 2 stoke (but not thunderbolt 4stoke. it's not long)
