Pepper,

They are $70 at Heliproz. Might be kind of neat not having to hook up a glow lighter and really good as a "hot start" preventer, but someone is going to have to convince me that having one is worth the hassle of having another cell to charge.

I was having problems with my OS50 and 60B carb in that the throttle response was mediocre and at full throttle the mixture had to be set lean to allow full power...

Since installing the Autoglow all the throttle response problems have gone and the motor is now an unboggable ballistic missile...

Add to that the auto start, no chance of hot start and the simplicity of spin and go and its a superb addition...

And no more stalling on a low idle when carrying model out

:D

:arggg: I figure I've done a silly , but my auto glow works like a charm in the 2 governed flite modes , but supplies "always on " glow in the ungoverned mode, and in hold ,,, radio is a JR 3810, set up as instructions to have gear sw disable/enable gov(works too !), and gov is off in normal flite mode, on in flite modes 1 and 2 ...
really dont want glow on in hold, or when gov is switched off ...
