    2-Stage Estes Indicator Upscale

    How did you make out? I have a customer asking if the alpha would fire the estes igniters. I knjow they provide the current, but not sure if they need a longer pulse.

    Diy E-match or igniter

    Part of the cost was the permits and licensing of being able to cut out fedex(saving the $50 hazmat fee and signature required) however, it is pricey for smaller orders. we did run some free shipping coupons in the past for rocketry forum customers, but there are none currently available. Maybe...

    Igniters and Federal Low Explosives User Permit

    Sorry I'm late to this thread, but yes we are the only non regulated match in the industry. I can't tell you how we got it, or our secret herbs and spices, but on every full box of our initiators it states that under the ATF code 18USC to why they are not regulated. Even though the code is vague...

    Thanks for the order and the input. The starters are for the smaller motors, once you go up, you can use the standard firewire. The shipping is a bit on these smaller orders. There was alot of work on permits and with regulations to be allowed to ship them by US mail. However doing so saved...

    composite starter kits

    The formula to light composites has been proven years ago. We have another kit coming, that will use our 3 foot bp starters as a base, so they should have no issues.

    composite starter kits

    Currently, we have 6-foot wires in our inventory. However, in our pursuit of aligning our products with market demands and optimal usability, it's essential to get feedback like this. I also want to delve into the research that informed the decision to use 8-inch wires. It could have been the bp...

    Let me experiment with this. They would have to be in parallel, as series would require them using bridgewires, and they do not.

    Loving the no Haz mat charge.

    Do you know if they are shipping US mail, UPS, or Fedex? I doubt they are no longer charging the hazmat fee, but somehow found a way around it, or DOT no longer regulates them. Any more info is appreciated, as we would love to ship fedex without the hazmat fee on igniters, however can only use...

    Electric Match Sourcing? (Are they all the same?)

    8" of 6 feet, this was what we were making in the past, the 8" were more popular. Anything is possible in the future if the kits do well.
