Default On board glow question

I've got a friend who has just about finished a 120" ish twin with Saito 56s. All up weight around 16 pounds.

Anyway he has decided to go with onboard glow drivers from Electro Dynamics. He is thinking for installing the batteries in the nacelles and the driver units in the fuse near the receiver. This will require a 28 inch lead from the battery to the driver unit and then back out to the glow plug. Of course a circuit on each side. For those who have done on board glow on a twin, do you think this would work?

I've suggested he skip the glow driver units and just wire them direct with a swithc in the nacelle and then have them off or on manually. He doesn't have enough room around the servo in the nacelle to work in some sort of a micro swithc use the throttle movement.

THanks for any input you can offer.
