Sure, you can use the igniters on all motors.

You must use the plug that came with the motor, they are not interchangible (with some exceptions)

That is a good point, using the wrong plug could result in some unwanted fireworks on the pad(motor go boom).

Or just not use the plug at all, use a small ball of flameproof wadding or a piece of tape, like we did in the olden days

Yeah, I use that with my homeade igniters. I wonder what would happen if I used flash paper instead of wadding.:dark:
