I love my 18 & 24mm casings!

What is Magnelite pyrogen? I would assume it is something like the stuff on Estes igniters...

I'm a relatively new BAR and RMS is new to me.
Are the 18 mm & 24 mm RMS very practical? How long does it take to reload that kind of thing...
How does it compare price-wise?
How does it compare power-wise?
I've tried reading the documentation but didn't get much from it.
Am I just better off sticking with 'regular' motors unless I need a lot more power for something?
Sorry if this has been answered before or somewhere else...

Exactly the same way I do it.Originally posted by SpartaChris
I have found that wrapping masking tape around opposite jaws of the alligator clips works a bit better than putting the masking tape on the igniter. it's easier, you just have to make sure you have one side connected and the other side blocked, and vice versa.

D9's and D13's are my favorite motors to use in Estes "D" powered rockets. The D9 has an awesome burn. Over 2 seconds...
