Forget the plugs!

My point is that his loss of height and speed was not likely to have been caused by a gust of wind.

A Robbo will fly on 3 cylinders, but if a valve sticks, the fault is likely to disappear if you shut down and start up again.

Unlike an ignition fault which will most likely produce the same symptoms and shutdown and restart.
