I launched an Estes Goblin a couple times on Q-jet E-26 motors today.
Both of them had a couple of seconds of sputtering at the start. Eventually both motors seem to catch good and the launches went well. However I was wondering about the sputtering at the very beginning right after the igniter went off.
Do you think it was a problem with the motors or is it maybe the igniters?
Both motors worked fine in the end but it was a little sketchy for the first second or two.
