Nelson Glow Plugs
From: Walt Ghio
Doug Galbreath has retired from selling Nelson glow plugs and also fuel / bladder tubing. I have taken over the selling of the Nelson glow plugs and Glenn Schneider has taken over the selling of the fuel / bladder tubing.
The Nelson glow plugs come in two heat ranges. The hotter plug is marked with a red stripe. At this time, I have the normal plugs in stock. If anybody would like the hotter plugs, I can supply them also.
I will not be attending the Nat’s this year. Glenn Schneider has volunteered to take some Nelson glow plugs and have them for sale at the Nat’s. If you would like to preorder glow plugs, please send me a request using my e-mail address. The cost is $8.00 per glow plug.

Dave Acton – Annual June 25-26, 2022
Dave Acton passed on May 1st. We decided to add his name to our June contest in Wawaywanda NY. A memorial service was held on Saturday. Tom Juell carried about 10 inflated helium balloons on the subway and train to White Planes, to get a ride with Betsy Purtell to the field. Dave’s daughter Carrie and her husband drove up from Pennsylvania. Allan Abriss, linked from Florida by FaceTime, gave the eulogy. A small model Dave built was lofted by the balloons into a vanishing dot in the blue sky and Tom spread Dave’s ashes on the field.
Saturday was dead calm; Sunday was windy. A few models were claimed by the powerful thermal queen.
