I have been using the same plug for about 70 flights in a OS160FX running
15% fuel, and each flight last around 8 minutes. Lately, the engine is
getting a little difficult to start on its first flight, so finally I
replaced it today, and the engine starts right away, which leads me to
wonder what seems to be a typical lifespan for OS#F plug - if this can be
defined at all.
TIA,
Kevin
I get several hundred flights typically. Two keys: no lean runs, and an
adaptive glow starter like the Radio South units. One lean run can ruin a plug,
and the adaptive starter applies more current depending on how much fuel is on
the plug. I get them relatively cheap from Central Hobbies.
