i would find the cause of the plugs blowing
rear bearing? mixture too lean?

just going to say the same
i would have a guess and say too lean with the weather changing so much

£6 a pop ?

Yeah, I use something better, 2200 3s lipos, last for ages. Sorry couldn't resist it. But I have to ask, at £6 a pop surely their quality should up to lasting longer than a few tanks full ? Not a good deal at all, even if they're only £2.70 apiece from HK. Be interesting to hear what other oil burners use and how long they last.

os8's and enya 3's

about 3 plugs a year on my fleet of helis
if you run lean or the bearing breaks up the plug will go


my plugs last longer than the thunder power and flight power 3 s lipos in my 450
run on the rich side and with good bearings it will only be old age/high usage that the plug will blow/fail
