Estes igniters work on Klima motors?

[billdz]

I'm currently in Europe, where Klima motors are most popular. Does anyone happen to know if:
* Estes electric igniters work on Klima 18mm motors?
* Klima fuses work on Estes C and D motors?

Thanks for any info,

FYI for anyone interested in Klima, they have changed the design of their electric igniters since last year. The motors came only with fuses last year, if you wanted to go electric you had to buy the igniters separately. This year, the electric igniters look completely different, and you can buy a pack of motors with either fuses or (for a higher price) the new style electric igniters. The old and new are pictured below.

In terms of ignition, BP motors and Klima motors are pretty much compatible. I believe that BP ignites slightly easier than Klimas propellant, but I don't any problems with Estes igniters in Klima motors, as long as they were carefully installed. I have no experience with the new igniters.

Thanks Reinhard, I'll give it a try and report the results.

Confirmed, tried it yesterday, yes to both, no issues.
