Plug It In

Here’s a simple way to set up a remote glow-plug connector. Buy a small, light, single wall receptacle at the hardware store. Connect one wire (the ground) anywhere on the motor and connect the other one to the top of the glow plug. Mount the receptacle plug in a convenient location (it can even be behind a hatch to maintain the plane’s scale look). Make sure that the glow-plug wire is securely attached and can’t be vibrated off. Attach a standard 110V plug with wire to the power panel or starter battery, and simply plug it into the receptacle plug.
