Using a servo to click one of those one push torches might work better. I was going to try one a while back but couldn't find one that would fit the design.
Other than that don't know how people activate their beetleweight flame weapons, they tend to keep it a "secret" so newbs don't attempt it and blow themselves up. _________________ ( •_•)

they can withstand a fair bit of heat and it wont be a blue flame, i'll half block the air holes so it will be hot but not too hot
i might be able to get some nicrhome wire from skool _________________ WHEN YOU GO TO COURT YOU'RE TRUSTING YOUR FATE TO TWELVE PEOPLE

lol no, i dont think a glow plug will take the heat at all. iirc its just nichrome wire but very thin. you can kill the plugs no sweat with an rc engine.
