Remote Glow

[Keith Black]

I personally didn't have good luck with the Tettra. As others have suggested I bought both the Hanger 9 and the Tettra and replaced the Hanger 9  glow connector with the Tettra. This worked fine until I had to remove it a couple of times. After that it would no longer stay clipped on. I tried adjusting the spring that grabs the top of the glow plug, but I could never again get it to stay on. I have a never used Tettra glow connector that I compared to the older one to make sure that the spring was still correctly in place and I could see nothing wrong.

After this I went back to the Hanger 9 connector (that I'd removed in the first place) and it's been working fine, but I only have around 30 flights on it. 

BTW, Art Wagner makes some glow connectors that seem to work great. I'll be trying one of those next.

  The best one seems to be the Tettra connector.  I used the Hanger 9 remote kit and installed the Tettra connector on it.

    I installed my first remote glow connector and the glow wire broke after about a dozen flights, also the McDaniels unit will not handle most popular foriegn plugs and some sold as domestic brands. Is there a satisfactory solution for soft mounted engines ?
