Engineering
The SwitchGlo Pro and PushGlo embodies a multilayer circuit board with low power components creating an intelligent switch-mode regulation. They both utilizes a programmable microcontroller enabling our custom source code to control the glow efficiency under various voltages and conditions, as well as control the many other key features that makes SwitchGlo Pro and PushGlo so great. SwitchGlo is designed by Zdatum Corporation, the same engineering firm to provide circuit design for projects within the Space Shuttle, Mars Probe, AH-1Z Cobra Helicopter, B1 Bomber, and numerous other military, commercial, and medical applications.
 
 
Pre-Production Beta Testing - 2007
SwitchGlo beta units were given to 30 R/C Helicopter, Airplane, and Truck enthusiasts and professionals. We estimate a pre-production SwitchGlo usage time of 360 flight hours. During this time, we collected surveys from each beta tester, providing us with detailed opinions of product perception, performance, features, size, weight, and price. The survey responses exceeded our expectation. All beta testers were extremely happy with SwitchGlo in all respects except size and weight. In our final production design, we reduced both size and weight by half. The same beta units are still in use and performing very well.
