NEw QUEST Q2G2 Igniters All Fire Current

OldRocketeer"II · Jul 21, 2008

We got a few emails from folks who flew their D5's this past weekend.

Note: The Q2G2 igniter is a 6V igniter designed to work on the Quest 9V and Estes 6V "weenie" launch controllers.

When you hook these up to a higher current launch system - it is possible they will go when you insert your safety key.

Please do a test firing with your launch system FIRST.

We've included two igniters with every motor.

Thanks!

So what is the all-fire current? It must be pretty low, to merit this warning. Might these be good for electronic staging/deploy?

Hmmm. While it is possible to fire very sensitive igniters from the normal continuity light current, it is also possible that some custom built systems OR a 6 volt system (with bulb/lamp) which has been hooked up to a 12 volt battery will be supplying too high a continuity current.

I look forward to additional data and thanks for the advisory.
