IMHO, one of the biggest problems is that in many cases, we are working
by the Braille Method, and not actually seeing what we're doing, particularly
with an inverted, nearly enclosed engine. And, kneeling down, in an
awkward position. More later; I can't get used to typing with one
hand. : ^ (

Hint</DIV> Bob,
<P>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.
<P>Did you put your solution on your website, I looked but did not see
it.

<FONT face=Arial><FONT size=-1>Thought I'd share something borne of

RS driver that he had modified with banana jacks on the case, and put
banana plugs on the glow connector. My experience with banana

size=-1> 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

unplugging unless disaster strikes - then I won't

Works just fine...and I now have inexpensive redundancy that lets me
use the RS Driver primarily. THAT has it's
