Default RE: OnBoard GLow system for OS 160 Twin Gemini

I have the McDaniel R/C twin glow driver for 4.8v but you are supposed to use a seperate pack not the receiver pack. I set the "on" point of the driver at low throttle trim and the "off" at just below the high throttle trim. I fly with the throttle trim lever set at high. This way the driver is only energized during starting and on final or if one cylinder flames out you can throttle back, pull the trim down a little and the cylinder will relight. I set mine up this way so I don't use the glow at all during the flight if I don't need to in order to save the battery charge. It is installed on my OS 160 Twin and works great!
