i flew the FB^2 today!
it boosted perfectly this time!, sustainer lit and just kept going....wow! (snip)
I was thinking of a simular booster design, but I thought of using clustered igniters instead of a flashpan.Originally posted by powderburner
(You said you got 6 of 8 to ignite using a flashpan)
Your booster apparently uses one 24mm MMT to ignite the upper stage and the other 24mm MMT to deploy a 'chute. Cool design.

Elapid,
Out of all those booster motors, how do you make sure the two key motors ignite?

Do you do anything special to make sure the 24mms do get started?
