Default RE: Fox Glow Plugs


ORIGINAL: jessiej

I have used many varieties of Fox plugs for many years with nothing but good results. While Fox are my usual plug of choice I haver never used the 2 volt plugs. What do you use for a battery?

I use a 7 AH lead acid gel cell battery with adjustable current to the plugs through a panel on my flight box. In addition to providing the necessary voltage/current, the meter on the panel shows if I have a shorted or open plug, or if the engine is flooded. The panel also provides 12 volts for my electric starter and reversible 6 volts for my electric fuel pump. Mine is Hobby Lobby, but Tower still sells an equivalent one.
