i fly rc planes and i am sure a glow plug would easily work, however to obtain the best results ( this technique is used in rc jet turbies) take the glow fiament and pull it out of the plug so it is still connected, but is streched out.

Sorry to be a killjoy but...

This whole thing just sounds silly if you ask me. How is a glow-plug any more effective than anything else? Why be stubborn? Using a glowplug isn't going to produce any better results than anything else nor create any new advancements in the field of cannon building. A cheap $5 Peizo would actually perform better. To add insult to injury, you’re not going to be able to ignite instantly with a simple push of the button, AND you’re going to wind up having to change out the glowplug here and there. Did I mention their more expensive than electric grill igniters?

If you could explain why exactly you want to use it then I might be a bit more understanding. Sorry for the pessimistic outlook on the topic.

Well you are right it doesnt work. I tried it today with no success. I just wanted to try something new for a remote ignition.

i just dont think it could get hot enough
