Default Intelegent glow driver

I have one. They are available from www.Nelsonhobby.com. I do not have air time on it. I have taken my Saito 180 out of one airplane and bench mounted the motor. I hooked up the receiver and throttel servo plus a Y connector to the glow driver. You " teach " the glow driver where the end points are on the servo travel, you do this from the transmitter. Thats it, the glow driver feeds the glow plug a couple clicks above engine shut off, your decesion on where it ingages. Ran a tank of gas and watched it do its thing. I like it. If you need onboard ignitation its a good way to go. Like I said not yet in an airplane but ground testing passed.
