Hi,
First post here. It's been a while since I've launched rockets, but did a lot when I was little. I'm trying now with my kids and was successful on a couple of our first attempts, but recently the engines do not ignite. I'm trying with engines and igniters that have been sitting around for a while and also new ones. With the new engines, I'm using igniters that came with the engines and I also purchased a new pack of igniters and tried some of those.
I've also tried two different launch pad controllers. I connect the clips to the igniter, the igniter is in place in the engine with the plug. The light comes on the controller as well.
Am I missing some step? I assume the most important part would be the igniter and to make sure that it's inserted in the engine so it is touching the side? It seems like having the plug takes care of this.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you might be able to provide.
