Default RE: Eliminate ignition battery?

In running your weedeater on a glow plug,it eliminates the stock ignition,except for the flywheel.If this engine would be converted to an airplane engine,would it start as easy just flipping it, or would an electric starter be needed ? I have a Homelite 30cc I converted,but it is still using the original module.Would using a glow plug,be benificial to power and rpm's of the engine ? I also run highly modified Homelites in my gas r/c boats and if your method would increase the power and rpm's that would mean more speed. I run 32:1 mixture in my boat engines.Will glow plugs work with a higher oil content than the mixture you're using ?
