Yeah, for clusters they are pretty much the way to go... I'll be flying a 4 D motor cluster at NARAM next week and I am contemplating putting 2 of the Quest igniters in each engine to make sure it works!

Pictures, Scott. Pictures!!

Of the model as it looks today.

And then of the launch at NARAM.



BTW, will you be going to NARAM-52 in Colorado next year?

No photos til done . There will be plenty of launch pictures if I actually GET it done .

No to Colorado... I am pretty unimpressed with the events. The only one I am interested in is the Giant Sport Scale and thats too much of a pain in the ass to ship .

Will that be 4xD12 or will you be using D5/D8 motors?

MBR is working him back into it as part of the team this year. It doesn't sound like we are going to be very active next year. I may be going off to the WSMC (if I make the team this weekend) and that would preclude me from going to NARAM-52.

Quest Q2G2 igniters are great for clusters. Set up properly, they will go off at the same time and thus fire simultaneously.

Has anybody had ANY failures of these to fire in any application? I am probably 20/20. I am not talking failure to light anything, just the igniter itself.
