RE: on board glow driver
Plans???
A switch, battery, and wire will do just fine. Or do you want to have it switch on and off with throttle position? If so, then I guess you're asking for an circuit design??

Check this out.

There is an article that explains how it works and has all the information to build one. You can buy components or a complete kit.

RE: on board glow driver
Optiglo is a good choice. I've built one and use it in a scale model of the Lockheed Vega. As a sidebar--Dave Platt uses a battery in a battery box and connects it to the plug. It is on for the full flight. He says that it does not effect the lifespan of the plugs and you always get a good consistent idle. Regards.

Jcole,
Do you sell complete assembly's of the starters? I will have an open receiver slot and I would really like to have this! If you do have a complete setup, would you consider selling it to me? Let me know.
