I have talked to multiple people that are running this setup straight through the RX with no problems on 2.4. I'm setting mine up that way. I have the Tech Aero dual regulator and dual batteries. Fail safe is set to kill the engine by pulling the trim all the way back. Also if the batteries get low the engine will start to miss and die before the RX has problems. More than anything, I don't want a second switching hanging out of my pattern plane. Thought about putting a second switch and just leaving it in the fuse, but that is just one more thing to fail. Bill Cunningham and others are running it straight through the RX. I think this is a totally different animal than a big glow from a safety stand point.

Also, my old 1.40RX would start WITHOUT a glowplug driver immediately after you landed and the engine was still warm. I actually had two of them that would do it.
