I would say go ahead and buy a glow driver, small motorcycle battery, a 12 volt starter, and a voltmeter. Sure other guys at the feild will let you use their stuff but eventually you will need these things anyways, and if your like I am you really dont wont to have to keep asking ppl if you can borrow stuff. I know that this irritate some ppl b/c we have this one guy at our feild who never brings it but he has been flying for 2 years and it irritates the mess out of me.
