<DIV><FONT size=2>Ham radio operators are moving towards these connectors for
high current applications because of their quality and

<DIV><FONT size=2>They are readily available everywhere but Radio Shack but it
is rumored that they are going to add them to their product line.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We just put a high current battery connector in
the line, and make up spare leads to a new plug connector. All use same
connectors/same polarity. That way we can interchange when someone has a
problem---and they will.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Bob,<BR><BR>I decided to use the banana plug connectors
after going through my second glow plug connector and did not want this
device to fail at a critical time (like a contest). I keep two glow plugs
ready in my case. I have not had any problems with the banana plug, but I
use pretty good quality gold plated ones. I did not notice any differences
in starting my planes using the banana plug connectors.<BR><BR>Did you put

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thought I'd share something borne of
frustration at the field. The twist lock glo connector that
didn't. Of course, I had no spare CONNECTOR, and the Radio South
Pro Driver worked flawlessly, as it holds it's charge a LONG
time...but... a bad connector renders the best glow driver
useless.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> So - friend Ray Morton
sent me a pic of his RS driver that he had modified with banana jacks on
the case, and put banana plugs on the glow connector. My
experience with banana plug setups is they loosen, and slide OUT when
you need them IN. So I needed a different solution.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Off to Radio Shack -
found some very inexpensive "barrel" wire connectors. Male/Female
in a package for $2 that did a battery end, the RS Driver, and THREE
glow connectors. They aren't designed for a high number of
disconnects, as they would wear pretty fast. But - I won't be
unplugging unless disaster strikes - then I won't care.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Works just fine...and I
now have inexpensive redundancy that lets me use the RS Driver
primarily. THAT has it's advantages.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just thought I'd share the
tip.</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>
