I use the Century version and yet to have a problem. Correct with other comments concerning where to mount and Locktite. Also check for chafing and grounding out.

For what it's worth, I've used the TT one, and the Century one, and the Century one for the money is the one to get(part no.2222). You can either hook it up with or without the grouding wire depending on how you set it up....jz

ps...I'm not affiliated with Century at all, and this is one of their products that I've found to be of really good quality.

I had 2 sullivan ones and they both broke. THe wire came off. I have a thundertiger and I have some problems, but I can handle it. I feel like cuttig away the canopy and just attaching it throught it. I have to clean it often.

Century too

I had two of the Century 2222's. Eventually either the boot rips or the wire pulls out of the end of it. This was my favourite though until it cost me a days flying.

It looked the coolest. I bet it's a favourite with the "box keepers"

I think they all suck.

The only solution that I live with is to solder 2 alligator clips on a Sub C battery. It's one less problem I have to diagnose if the heli refuses to start.

The best remote glow connector I ever used was made out of a $4.50 airplane glow cord (the kind plank flyers connect to their power panels) I located which lead was the center contact and cut the other wire off, the wire is the size of lamp cord so it NEVER fatiuges and after soldering it to the fake plug assembley I never had a problem! A side benefit is the connector itself is long enough to grasp while putting it on or removing it with oily fingers...

BEST GLOW REMOTE IVE FOUND

Enya plugs have a removable tip with a thin fiberous washer just beneath the removable tip. If you replace the glow plug end of just about any old glow remote with the blue 12-14 gauge male blade type electrical connector and be sure to tin the wire tip, crimp and back in with solder, slip the hole that is already in the middle of the blade type male connector over the threaded exposed tip of the enya plug of your choice, be sure to leave the fiberous washer beneath the electrial connector and you will have the best $ can buy. you can even bend the connector some and lock tight the threads but it is not necessary.
