Hello all,
I would like to wire up a composite motor to ignite as an air start any time after liftoff. I was going to use some sort of device (wooden pin?) to break a circuit that connects straight to a battery while on the pad and then as the other motors lift the rocket, the circuit is completed as the wood pin is removed and fires the composite igniter. Can I just wire a composite (Aerotech) igniter to a 400 or 900 LiPo battery and have it fire? Do I need a little circuitry to boost the amps from the LiPo? I know just enough electronics to be dangerous to myself and solder my fingers together......
