I was wondering that glow plug to run i think the stock one is still in but now sure as i got it used it is running pretty good now temps are 200-220 but hotter when tank starts to get low. I was thinking of running a med plug. Are there different brands of plugs and what do you like

Thanks Dave

Basicly if you are running 20% run a hot to medium plug and if 30% go Cold to medium and if in between go in between.

I have had good luck with Racer Edge plugs which are cheaper and just as reliable or more reliable than the McCoy Plugs. There are lots of different Brands to choose from.
 
I don't think you can go wrong with a MC9.

MC-4C: 4-cycle engines

MC-55: The MC-55 is considered a hot plug and is designed to run on fuel with a low nitro content. Applications for this plug would be planes, tether cars, etc.

MC-59: Like the MC-55, the MC-59 is considered a hot plug. The difference between the 55 and 59 is that the MC-59 is designed to run on fuel with a higher nitro content (low to medium nitro content) than the MC-55. Applications: Boats, planes, heilcopters, and cars.

MC-8: The MC-8 is a medium to cold plug, deisgned to run on fuels with a medium to high nitro content. Applications: Boats, cars, and planes.

MC-9: The McCoy MC-9 is considered a cold plug and is designed to run on fuels with a medium to high nitro content. Applications: Cars, boats, ducted fan and Giant Scale planes.

MC-14: The MC-14 is a hot plug, designed for helicopters and 4-stroke engines.

From reading just these bits of info on McCoy's plugs, you can easily see that general rule...if you're running fuel with a high nitro percentage, you should be using a glow plug that's considered to be a "cold" plug. Conversely, if you're running a low nitro content in your fuel, you should be using a "hot" plug.
