How it works: SwitchGlo Pro simply plugs into a receiver channel, then to your glow plug. You assign a transmitter toggle switch to this SwitchGlo channel, and toggle your glow on and off, at startup or inflight.
You can program mix SwitchGlo just as you can program mix any servo on your craft, allowing you to utilize your glow in ways you never thought possible! Low Throttle glow activation is achieved by programming your TX to activate the SwitchGlo channel at any throttle position you desire. You can further enhance your Low Throttle mix by assigning a toggle switch to activate the mix, thereby forever preventing "Hot Starts"
Know when you glow! - SwitchGlo will Beep the entire time your glow plug is glowing, providing reassurance that the Plug is Glowing.
SwitchGlo helps you diagnose starting problems; a single beep from SwitchGlo signals the glow/ground loop is open, most often indicating your glow plug is spent.
This feature greatly reducing your troubleshooting efforts.
Technology: SwitchGlo Pro is an Intelligent and Highly Efficient on-board glow driver.
Its state-of-the-art voltage adaptive algorithm optimizes the power transferred from your battery pack to your glow plug providing the ideal glow.
Outfitted with low power components, switched-mode voltage regulation and adjustable firmware, SwitchGlo is not your conventional on-board glow system.
Other on-board glow systems use linear regulators that waste power and operate at dangerously high temperatures. These linear glow drivers also suffer from low glow at lower pack voltages, while SwitchGlo gives a strong and consistent glow from 4V - 9V.
Combining the benefits of switch-mode voltage regulation and the smallest footprints on the market, SwitchGlo Pro is the Most Advanced way to glow.
Because SwitchGlo is controlled by your Transmitter, it can be program mixed like any servo,
so it can be activated to turn on at 1/4 Throttle or less, for inverted 4 Stroke engines for example, which tend to quit on low throttle.
Prevents a dead stick landing or a crash.
Promote SAFETY : Eliminates Pocket Glow starter so no need to get hands
near the Spinning Propeller once engine has started.
AVOID INJURY and MEDICAL BILLS which could put me out of commission,
and cost me more than all my planes are worth.
As long time flyers we become complacent to Propeller Safety,
so I think this feature is invaluable and cheap protection to help avoid a prop strike.

The SwitchGlo Pro circuit has 31 components including an anti-interference circuit effectively eliminating any and all servo chatter caused by igniting the glow plug. SwitchGlo utilizes a programmable micro controller enabling a custom source code to control the glow efficiency as well as control other key features. Pre-Production TestingSwitchGlo beta units were given to 30 R/C Helicopter, Airplane, and Truck enthusiasts and professionals,
a few years ago.
We estimate a pre-production SwitchGlo usage time of 360 flight hours. During this time, we collected surveys from each beta tester, providing us with detailed opinions of product perception, performance, features, size, weight, and price. The survey responses exceeded our expectation. All beta testers were extremely happy with SwitchGlo in all respects except size and weight. In our final production design, we reduced both size and weight by half. Those same beta units are still in use and performing very well.
Since then many Thousands have been sold and are in use everyday with no problems.
They are now being used in 20+ countries.
