On my airplane, the glow driver needs to be inserted from below and is so low that you cant remove it with the airplane on the ground. That means it compulsarily needs two people to start the airplane. I installed a remote glow driver hoping that would help but the connector keeps falling off the glow plug

Reading these posts and noticing how guys start planes at the clubs I am in makes me think the most dangerous thing is the glow driver falling off or when you take it off. I have seen some, like stated above, that I simply don't think I would own.

You would think there would be some better options as this is a large safety concern. The only times one gets really close to the props are when adjusting the carbs or removing the glow starter. I have been hit twice now and neither time was I hurt bad, but that did it for me. I simply will not reach over that prop any longer.

Makes you realize just how important your body parts are!
