Glow driver options

[barney]

I'm looking for a IC controlled Glow supply similiar to the Rcats and Radio South glow driver systems. Are these the only ones available and only from the States..

thanks Brian

TTT...Anybody??

Only from the US I think.

I'm sure SMC looked into stocking them but the margin was laughable so they binned it.

I use a 12v one for my cars and have an on board one on my Heli as I found my standard ones(I had 3) were always flat cos I'm a slacker

i have the radio south one as you might know barney, charge it maybe 3-4 times a year. superb bit of kit.

if your getting an rc cats one let me know and i might order aswell altough i have no idea why i want to change.

cheers

They look a bit dear for a glow starter

Thanks Smoothhound "cos I'm a slacker" LOL........

Paul..Ian my flying buddy has a RCATS..works really well. Ian's been running his for at least 6 months without requiring a charge! (he can't remember where he got it though..so long ago. 'Senile git' after all he was 38 on Friday)

Yes the Radio South I saw was yours..you not happy with it?

I've have a 12v power panel that keeps burning up plugs (faulty) so just got a wee 2v clip on..but doesnt fit the glow extension I have on both N's..Sod's law

RCATS I really like the idea of it sensing the plug draw and adjusting accordingly preventing early failures...plugs can be expensive, plus I like to be 100% self sufficent at the field..

I'll interogate him again in a mo..in case he has a flashback.

i'm happy enough with mine barney but i wanted an rc cats one purely because of the battery as i hate charging things every week. (not that i charge my radio south one often, as i said maybe every 3-4 months)

it's 100 dollars stateside and at the exchange rate just now is very tempting.

cheers
