Default RE: Glow driver strength

Update: I had a "duh" moment and realized that I own a multimeter. So I checked the glow driver and it only was putting out around .8 volts. Took it apart and found some crud where the battery connects. Now I've got 1.25 or so and a white-hot glow plug.
I richened the HS needle a tad and got it started with only a few flips. I'm continuing the break in with a rich mix and will probably fly it next week.

This annoying newbie thanks all you guys for the help.
