Default RE: Do I need a Glo-Starter

I would like to know If I need a Glo-Starter for my Thunder Tiger GP 25 ABC w/Muffler or is it just the glow plug?
The Glo-starter energizes the glo-plug. I don't have a glo-driver, preferring to use the power distribution panel on my flight box and run it off the 12v battey with a wired clip on a spring loaded reel-retractor. Never runs out of power.

If you don't use a small self-contained one you'll need one like I described, but you will need something to heat the nicrome wire in the plug to start it running.
