Maxx Products has a nice one. I have two of them and they work very well and reliably. Go to www.maxxprod.com and look for the SuperGlo.

RE: On Board Igniter
We build our own. The plug connection is a unit used by the turbine guys to light them at startup - around A$13 here in Oz. Then I put a microswitch on a block beside the throttle servo, and connect with a C or D size nicad cell. An external isolation switch is a help to ensure the cell isnt left on by accident when you shut the throttle on landing and forget to move it back to full after engine stop. Set the microswitch to break at 20-25% throttle opening. Use them on all my 4 strokes for insurance against dead sticks on approach or after a spin etc.
