Okay, here’s a question for inquiring minds that want to know. I have a 6 channel radio for my MT P-51 (to be completed) with flaps and retracts, meaning no open channels.

Why couldn’t I use my flaps at full-down to actuate an on/off switch for the remote glow? Yeah, it will take some engineering, but that’s what we all love, RIGHT!?!?!

When the flaps are anywhere except full-down, the power would be off and when the flaps are full-down the power to the glow would be on. SO, I power up the Tx and Rx, move the flaps to full-down via dial, fire up the engine and trim the flaps to level.

One big benefit, you would be applying Glow Power to the engine on landing (assuming full flaps), which MIGHT help in flame outs.

Thoughts….ideas….
