AutoGlow™
On-Board Glow Senses Plug Temperature and Stick Movement
AutoGlow was designed to enable the model aviation enthusiast to automatically maintain a minimum glow plug temperature throughout the flight envelope. This constant temperature monitoring and controlling insures that long periods of low throttle or idle will not extinguish the glow plug and cause an engine stoppage or loss of performance. AutoGlow also includes a stick acceleration sensing feature that automatically sets the glow current to the full power setting when the stick is rapidly moved from a low throttle setting to a high throttle setting. This condition can occur when the pilot is on final landing approach and decides to abort the landing and advance to a high throttle setting. This feature insures consistent engine performance during the critical final approach and landing phase of flight. AutoGlow also serves as an On-Board glow driver for the purpose of starting the glow engine without the need for an external battery or unsightly holes in engine cowling.
