The once pretty standard power panel that is inputted by the 12 volt battery used for the starter also provides 6 volts for an electric fuel pump and 1.5 volts for a glow plug driver. My panel made by Hobbico (Tower) has a meter tied into the glow driver so it reads the current draw, and as a result shows if the plug is taking current (not burned out). The panel uses a cord ended plug connector that Du Bro, for one, makes. I use my power panel for all three and only charge the 12 volt gell cell battery once or twice a season.
Well 1.5v yes and no. It supplies 12v to the glow plug intermittantly. Works great, has indicator to indicate if glow plug is good or how much heat is going to the plug depending on the model

Guys,
thank you all for the immediate answers.
I have this field box,
(
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDBH8&P=7 )
but not as a prebuilt one,
i build it myself.
TH used to carry them as kits,and i have made mine from a kit.
As you see,
i don't have much space to mount the Hobbico micropanel,
except from the sides.
