Glow plug connector/adaptor for Hyper?

[Jonathan Ott]

Is there a glow plug connector that works better than others with the OS Hyper 50?

Are you talking about a remote glow adapter?

[Jonathan Ott]

I always used this:

Model Products head lock on my 50 hyper. But no matter what brand I would use, they always wear out after a few gallons and need to be replaced.

edit: had the wrong link - just updated it.

There are a couple out there... the most simple is from Thunder Tiger. It consists of a clip attached to the end of the glowplug, and the other end gets grounded on the engine bolts. Some are more in depth like CS's post. Although they are still simple. Revolution makes one that is slick with a rubber plug cover like a sparkplug boot, and an internal clip that works well. IMHO here simple is good, even simpler is better. LIKE CS said they eventually wear out over time.

I've had the booted ones before on planes, but even with the small head, the boot always seemed to melt into the fins (No, I didn't overheat the engine, just bad rubber with low melting point). I've seen the ones with the clip, but can't seem to find 'em. I'll check Heliproz and see if they have 'em.

Thanks guys,

I have the Revolution one with the boot. 40 flights and I still like it so far.

Cut the boot & install a small alligator clip.It will last for ever

I haven't had any issues with the booted ones on the Hyper. I don't use them anymore I have the switch glow with an aligator clip and that works just fine.
