In mIchigan, I have built rocketsd with hundreds of kids we always have a great time doing it with a lot of excitement for the launch. They are so proud of their creation they try to run out to the field! Do every time I slow them down. We load up the engines install the Estes igniter in to 5 rockets ( I launch them on groups More fun and gets through the 50 or so kids a bit quicker) get a safe distance away then every on counts down 5...4...3..2..1 then fizz all 5 just sit there... through my 2 packs of bulk A8-3 engines only 25 of them lit. I do use a nice 12v battery and had super clean igniter clips with good voltage and continuity. I ran home and got my hand dipped igniters and launch the remainder with those. Since that fateful day, I only use my own igniters. So here is the issue...
Over the labor day weekend I am visiting my old friends in northern Texas. I am sure i can pick up motors locally. I cerntally will not fly with those. What to do about the igniters?
