I don't use a glow remote on my planes. I cut the cowl WAY open on the botton (you'll need the cowl cut anyways for cooling). This allows plenty of room to attach the Glow Stick from underneath. It's a little awkward when you install the Glow Stick but after the engine starts it's easy to reach down and undo it. It's never been a problem but I have had problems with the remotes coming undone, wire breaking etc. Also, it saves weight not to use it.

But, if you must use it, then I would mount the plug in back of the firewall just in front of the canopy and run the wire up to the glow plug. Then you attach the Glow Stick from the side. Clean installation and doesn't look bad. I did it this way on my original UCD60. But on the two after that and on my 5 UCD46 I just cut the cowl WAY open on the bottom.

When you do extended hovering (which you'll want to do with the UCD because it's soooooo much fun) you'll find you will need the extra cooling or the engine will not run properly (ambient temp inside the cowl rises and changes the air/fuel ratio) and you will bog or dead stick. You also lose much of that precious HP when you don't open the cowl up for maximum air flow.

Mine was so bad on the first one that I built, that I could hover for 20-30 seconds and the plane would start running so badly it wouldn't even hold a hover. Could not figure it out. Worked fine at first then would just lose power. I finally just cut the cowl WAY open (basically the whole underneath side is cut away) and the engine problem went away entirely. Now I don't lose any HP at all.

Anyways, you don't really need the remote and it saves a bit of weight.
