Default RE: Onboard glow, dummy needs help again

OK, photos are down to there smallest size and they said they loaded up? First photo is the Cermark metal twist on head lock. My LHS orders these for me and they just have the center wire and ground attached. I usually buy several of them. For two strokes I use the rubber clip on units. Second photo is one of the jacks mounted in a planes fuse. Third photo is the female jack, part number for radio shack is 274-0251. Forth photo is the male end I made up so I can just use my glow stick for starting. I also have a long one made up for a power panel. I don't have the part number for the male end. If you don't have a radio shack near you I can get some and mail them to you.
Yesterday I took the wing tube and chucked it into a lathe so I could take it down a bit with a file and emery paper so it would slide into the inner tube better. When I used epoxy to glue in the tubes it acted like the epoxy shrunk and got tight? I need more wood to get the wings sheeted so I'm doing other minor things until I can get the wood. This plane uses more sheeting then any other plane I have built. I didn't cut near enough. Now I'm out of balsa blocks.
