RE: glow igniter
^^I'll second that. I don't know whether or not you've got a local hobby shop, but mine carries a Dubro glow igniter with a rechargable sub-c cell and a charger for $19.95. They also carry a Duratrax ignitor that uses a full size C cell so you can use alkalines for backup, and it's under $10 w/o a cell included. Just a thought.
