<DIV>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.</DIV></DIV>
