I used the RX-8 plugs that were in my engine when I bought it for the first 200 hrs of flight. They has 9400 miles of highway driving on them first!
I changed them last week and could not tell any difference. They are the iridium plugs.

On another subject - while flying Friday, I turned the cold start switch on and the engine quit - I adjusted the mixture knob all the way lean and it would not run. I than decided to turn the cold start off! I'll install a switch guard on it soon.

RX-7 plugs will work fine in it. The RX-8 plugs are Iridium and they do last longer but are not a necessity. Mine have passed the 300 hour mark and are working fine (with very little 100LL).
