Of course, the only way to prove this would be to either randomly pull models off the flight line for a "tear-down inspection" of the piston and the "igniter" OR have each competitor "supervised" during prep and right up until the model & piston is placed on the flight line. If the model is taken down, for any reason, the process repeats.

and therein lies the crux of the problem......when exactly does an igniter "significantly" add additional pressure. Maybe everybody should be forced to use Estes starters...hahahahah.
