Glow plug gadget

While watching a fly-in in Los Angeles 30 yrs ago I saw a plane that had a gadget on the glow plug.



when the plane slowed to a selected speed this gadget would turn on and make the plug glow hot so the engine would not stall and quit. It had it's own battery. Are these still around and for sale and where?

onboard glow ignitors

Hi Dee,

These are commonly referred to as onboard glow drivers.

There are several different brands available such as Sullivan, McDaniel, RAM, Switch Glow, and I am sure there are many others.


Here are a few examples of onboard glow ignitors on eBay.

Hope this helps!

Matt
