Default Switch for glow plug

Now that's an idea MHawker.
You have just started me thinking, you could even link it up onto the throttle servo and adjust it so that it switches it on when you come down past say...1/4 throt, you only really need it just bellow and at the point of throttle for starting.

Even incorperate it into a three-way switch, with a lag setting, I'll demonstrate with a drawing now, this seems quite a novel idea if i may say so myself. The stoppers will put the switch position where it is needed.
This has just jumped into my head, it does probably need some refinement and you are welcomed to put your ideas into this aswell, so I won't take any offence to any criticising you may post.

Cheers and good flying
