I'm about to be a BAR again. Except for three weeks ago, have not flown in ten years or more. With a relay launcher I helped repair for someone, I noticed that 12 volts would make some igniters almost explode rather than controlled burn (true for Solar's, Copperheads, and Q2G2).
Have any of you tried using 6 volts instead of 12 (on a relay system) for igniting single motors ?
I'm wondering if doing so has proven to result in more reliable motor ignition, either BP or AP propellant.
