Same as our regular Programmable On-Board Glow Driver, but specially designed for any 2-cylinder, 2 or 4-stroke glow engine, or any twin engine model powered by a pair of 2 or 4-stroke glow engines. (Select the version you need from the drop-down menu on the right side of the images above.) It includes a pair of 20 inch high-quality, locking metal glow-plug heads for connection to your motor's glow plugs, as well a single engine ground wire for the twin cylinder version, or a pair of ground wires for twin engine version. Installs in minutes, and provides power to your glow plugs at any throttle setting you choose. The throttle position can be reset as often as desired, and is maintained in memory even when power to the model is removed completely. The twin cylinder/twin engine versions include a special 2-cell 1.4 volt Ni-Cad battery made from a pair of 2500mAh cells wired in parallel, so it can provide a total of 5000mA of glow plug power that will not drain your receiver's battery pack. The 5mm orange LED can be mounted anywhere on your model to indicate when the glow plugs are "hot". Reversible for any configuration or throttle setup. Also included are a 5mm black plastic LED holder for mounting the LED, and an extra Dean-style (T) male connector you can install on your charger for easy charging of the Glow Driver's battery pack.
Note: The battery pack can be charged using any Ni-Cad charger that is capable of charging 1-8 Ni-Cad/Ni-MH cells, or you can easily modify one of the "Hot Shot" chargers used to charge a regular glow ignitor. Just remove the metal glow plug fitting from the end of the charger's wires, and install the provided Deans connector, being sure to observe the correct polarity on both the charger and the Deans plug.
Check the polarity at the Deans plug before connecting to your battery pack!

Programmable On-Board Glow Driver-Twin Cylinder/Twin Engine
This circuit can be connected to the throttle channel along with your throttle servo using a common servo "Y", or it can be plugged into any spare channel that is mixed to the throttle channel. The position of the throttle stick at which the glow plug comes "ON" is set using the small pushbutton switch on the main circuit board, is fully reversible for any servo configuration, and it can be reset as often as desired. The special 2-cell sub-C size battery keeps the total voltage within the range that's safe for your glow plugs, no worry about over-driving them or burning them out, yet the parallel wiring provides a whopping 5000mA of available current, and since the plugs are only being driven at the throttle setting you choose rather than all the time you're in the air, it should provide plenty of power for a full weekend of flying. Instructions are included for easy installation and use.
