Hi Guys,
I can attest to the Champion’s they are a vast improvement over the Russian plugs. We have one aircraft running on them for almost 100 hours, easier starts, smoother idle and smoother at high power settings. They are pricy but I think they are supposed to last for 1500-2000 hours.

My 2 cents
I have been running a set of these plugs for over 2 years as a test for Champion and in the conditions that would wear out the normal champions in 100 hours (WOT doing airshow stuff) I am now well past 200 hours and they are by far the best performing plug I have found. Starting and running even at the extreme power I use they just work. A little disappointed in the pricing but that is there call. I fly a lot of different M-14 powered aircraft with every plug available and these are the best hands down. Time will tell if they last the life of the engine but I will find out.

I moved the batteries on mine and Dave's, it's not an easy project. I was
able to relocate them to the inspection plate area in front of the oil
cooler without cutting a larger opening. It involves making an alum
bracket to support the 2 gel cell batteries. Very tight area, and small
angle drill required, along with flush riveting tools. I will be helping
Robert move his sometime this year, if you want to come down and see us
(Lebanon, Tn, just east of Nashville).

There are a few planes that did not have additional weight in the front to
compensate for the batteries in the back. By moving the batteries, that
would make a substantial differance with the rear seat occupied, or even
the baggage loaded. My plane had 70# of weight in front, so removing it
and moving the batteries made the plane a little lighter overall, but I
didn't notice as big a change as the unweighted planes.

It moved my CG forward (totally empty plane) 3.13".
Very noticeable improvement in flight characteristics. Was out of Cg
limits for flight with a big guy (200#) in the back seat. Now even in
the more limited acro Cg limits with the same load.
Cheers,
Steve

The plane, as originally built, has some issues no doubt. But they are
all "fixable" and there is no better plane for the money anywhere else!
Except maybe a -50...wish I had one of them too.
