If you mean the Q2G2, the answer is “no”. I think Gary said the company wanted to sell motors too, and not just igniters.

But the Q-jets have the First Fire Micros included. (I think they are called Micros.). They look similar to the First Fires that come with the 24mm reloads, just smaller.

I flew a C12-6 in an Estes BT-55 rocket with a plastic fin unit and 1/4 turn twist lock retainer cap. The nozzle was recessed about 1/4”. Fast ignition, perfect flight, delay time right on, and no damage to fin unit, not even any soot on it.

I did not try a D16 since I did not have a rocket with me that I thought was sized for a D.

The Q-Jets are fun little motors.
