FYI, all good, but a comment.
At first, my McDaniel Ni-Starter would not fit a K&B-1L plug. Did not lock on. However, after a quick consult with the factory, they advised checking the washer for belling. In fact, the supplied washer was of poor quality. With a decent washer, it works fine.

A few of the older plugs don't work well with the Ni starter. I bought about a dozen Glow Devils from someone on Ebay a while back and the battery would simply not latch on. Upon close inspection these were new, but older generation plugs that had the hex shank too long to engage. I looked at my newer Glow Devil stock and the shank has been shortened. The older plugs are relegated to profiles and maybe free flight where I can use the old clothes pin style battery leads on the power panel.
