The igniter wires WILL exit the forward bulkhead as of now.
I wondering what's the plan if the preinstalled igniter is a dud, or is that not common in K+ motors?
How you get past NFPA 1127 4.13.5? Just saying, you'd need to have a change in the NFPA requirements. Good luck there!
They don't soil their shorts because they meet the best practice requirement by doing final prep at an away table, after they get approval of the RSO and before they go to the pad. They are the prescribed distance away from people both behind the LCO table and from the pads. It's .big boys and girls launches at big vents, not your average L1/L2 flyer.The head in igniter used for multi staging is a valid analogy here and doesn't seem the rule mavens soil their shorts over it as long as a best practice is used. (Like not applying power to anything until the stack is upright on the pad.)

Ahhh, that's it. Now you need to put up some pictures and expand your QRZ page a little bit. Did you go to my page and read it?Did you find me?
The issue is that the safety code explicitly calls for the igniter to be installed on the pad with the rocket in a vertical position.
Heada. I didn't design the igniter. IF you'll give me some time, I'll explain the entire igniter to everyone. I can assure you and all those concerned that the igniter system WILL pass NAR inspection. IF however, they don't pass muster, there are always up-the-throat igniters. Right? Lol! We just think our igniter system to be very innovative.
Not only that Heada, but our prices are going to amaze you! I want you and others to be happy with our prices.
rcktnut. Sheesh! Can you use another term besides "cheap?" lol! How about inexpensive? I like that term much better! The motors will be designed as such that you could used an up the throat igniter if you so desired.
TNX rknnut! And you're sure right about that! NOTHING is inexpensive about this hobby! But, I think when you see our motors and their prices, you're going to be pleasantly surprised. That is if you buy from a current motor manufacturer. I don't know where you buy your motors and I don't care. Maybe you make your own. But I can tell you this. If you're buying from a motor manufacturer, I can tell you we're going to knock the socks off their prices. THAT'S a promise!
Don: This part of the thread is much more enjoyable for both of us instead of the negativity of the safety Nazis and Armchair Engineers I got licensed in 2013 and have never learned CW, but I do have a mfj paddle that another ham friend of mine gave me to practice with, but I really only have practiced my call sign. I did fall in love at the Dayton Hamvention when I stopped by the Begali key table and tried out all of their keys as they are the Rolls-Royce of keys.Hi Hobie. Nope. Haven't read your page on qrz just yet. Glad you found me. How long did you say you've been a ham? I've been a ham since 1983 when I got my original call sign KC4KGD. Sometimes I wish I had kept it but a call sign with an N in the beginning is a sort of a rarity anyway these days. It's pretty good for working CW. Do you work much CW? I have several keys but I usually use my straight key. I don't work fast CW must. Usually 12-15 WPM is about what I do. Even slower if I'm talking to a new ham who is just getting into CW. It's sort of a dying art but I love the nostalgia.
Those armchair Nazi's don't bother me. It comes with the territory. I chalk it up to jealousy. Most are either wanna-be motor manufacturers and don't have the money or brains to do so, or are simply naysayers. No big deal. I'm a positive person. I like positive people. Those who aren't, I typically brush off.
though I have a lot concerns about how warranty claims will be handled...
