SwitchGlo Pro Igniter w/Alligator Pigtail
SwitchGlo Pro is a revolutionary onboard glow driver that simply plugs into an RX receiver channel and requires no re-charging or additional batteries. It will accept any voltage input between 4V and 9V. Because of its unique and highly efficient voltage regulation technology, SwitchGlo Pro draws an insignificant 0.4mAh per 1 second of glow time and will not noticeably drain your receiver battery. Total onboard weight is only 25 grams including the pig tail.
“Know when you Glow” with an audible buzzer that can also assist in locating a lost craft. SwitchGlo helps you diagnose starting problems with a single beep when detecting an open circuit, indicating you that your glow plug is spent, and greatly reducing time wasted troubleshooting.
You can program mix SwitchGlo Pro just like any other servo on your craft. SwitchGlo Pro has a 4 switch SIP with a built in servo reverser for Y harnessing and an adjustable 12 or 60 second Auto Shut-Off setting. This allows you to adjust for every possible installation and program mix, from eliminating Helicopter “Hot Starts”, to “Low Throttle Mixes” for Airplane taxiing and final approach, SwitchGlo Pro can do it all.
No more struggling with lost or forgotten hand held ni-starters, broken remote cables, or dead batteries. SwitchGlo Pro is ready to work for you every time you power on your craft!

Works great and easy to install.
This is the greatest idea since sliced bread,plugs into rx and can be turned on or off.It doesn’t take up much space and has negligible drain on flight battery Buy one or more you won’t be sorry
Good ....
Installed on all my Nitro Helis. Nitroxy5 and Kraken 700 Nitro. Thanks Heli Direct for the prompt shipping.
Best device at the best price here.
Cheers! A+++++++
Used on my g700 nitro. Easy to use.
I’ve been using them on my all Nitro helis. It’s very convenient to start. The only con is it’s relatively expensive.
I installed this in my Trex 700 Nitro and absolutely love it! No more fumbling around with cords or dead batteries. Just flip the switch on my transmitter and BAM it's up and running! I have a few airplanes I am going to install this in as well! Great product!!!! You will be happy you bought it!
This is my second SwitchGlo I have to be honest I'm not a heli pilot I use them in my airplanes. HeliDirect was the only place to have them in stock. The result is the same it lights the glow plug and does a great job at it. My only complaint is the lack of documentation makes the setup difficult. A comprhensive manual with setup procedures would be nice.
This switch glo made my life much easier when i need to start the engine.
Excellent service from Helidirect as always and fast shipping!!
