Hi,

One of our pattern flyers in Brisbane builds a box with 12 nicads. This powers the starter and the glow plug. A board senses when the starter is turning, and only energizes the plug when its turning over. This gives a soft-start to the YS's that can backfire otherwise. A meter is invaluable to see if the plug is flooded or burnt out.

I use the TY1 clip and find it the best. Simple and a positive, easy to release lock
