With the Rabbit the igniter is a ceramic element not a glow plug. Yes, it is internal and yes, it must be changed at the factory. Last, it is covered by the LTW. The new ceramic igniter which we just introduced is a retro fit to the glow plug in all our other turbines. ie; same location.

With well over 100 Rabbits in service, there have been 4 ceramic igniter failures. One, was customer induced as he had a burning desire to take the turbine apart to see what it looked like. Of the others, two actually failed and the third appeard to be "shock" damage although, no visible impact point on the turbine was noted.

I trust this helps with your decision. I look forward to welcoming you to the Jet Central Family.
