its not actually the 'heat' from the plug that creates a 'bang' but rather the material from the little spring inside the plug, if this spring is lit it reacts with the nitro content in the fuel and basically burns it. after you take your igniter off, the plug stays lit because of the entire combustion cycle (the fuel makes it stay lit) obviously it doesnt shine as bright as when you put an igniter on, but its enough to burn fuel. also, that is an ABN old hpi engine, very cool sir! is it the 15fe?

Yeah it’s a 15FE. You know your stuff 😂 just got it with an old hpi nitro on trade
thank you, this is the answer I've been looking for, how does the rc nitro engine start after the igniter is removed

I’m sorry, Mr. Mechanic passed away last April so he can’t answer your question. 💔 This is his mom.
Thank you for explaining!
Nice video bro
There is a lot going on in that tiny little engine.
Haha that’s very true
Where the coil
There is no spark coil needed on a nitro engine because the chemicals in the fuel keep the glow plug heated up.
