[NSRCA-discussion] What is a typical lifespan for OS#F inOS160FXapplicat...

[Kevin Sung]

Jon,

Thank you for the input.  In that case, I might just have one that got away
since I don't think I had a lean run, and I am using Radio South glow
starter.  In any case, I will monitor and see how long this one will last.

    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.
