Just a quick question.
I have always used aluminum charge wells that I purchase from a dealer for my drogue and main events. I have had excellent results with them over the years. So, as I am reading my altimeter user manual, it states that also avoid using metalized canisters to minimize your risk of shorts on an activated event output. Probably nothing to worry about since the match is on top center of well pressed in with dog barf and 4 layers of blue painters tape.
One of my ground tests that I did, I placed a match in a empty well in the bottom corner and it still fired off.
So, do I need to line the inside of the well with something non conductive (cardboard tube) or just leave as is and don't worry??
I would think that it is fine since the charge wells are made specifically for this situation?
Thank you!
