Glow Plugs

[RC Steve Sterling]

I had same problem! I forgot, otherwise would have mentioned it. I now store
airplane so head is up, and use less after-run.

  Bill, do you use after-run oil? If so, how much?

  I found that if I used too much after-run oil it would collect around the
head when in storage (I store mine level, belly down) and the next time I
tried to start it the compression of the oil would damage my glow plugs. I
stopped using so much and now only use about five drops and don't seem to
have as much problem with the plugs.

    Help-
    I have to change plugs on a Webra 1.45 about every dozen flights.......
I'm sure it's not a mixture problem.  The plugs are OS-F plugs...... any
ideas what the cause might be??
    Thanks
