Since I bought my new car I haven't been able to find several things that relate to rocketry, #1 and most important being my collection of slutty igniters. This hasn't been a huge issue, mostly because I've been flying mostly club launches, but as we get into the B6-4 Field season, I could see it getting ugly. Checked everywhere, in the pocket of every vest and jacket I've possibly worn to a launch this year, down in the wine cellar, under every seat in the car. NOTHING. Yesterday I decided to make one final push and found a vest that I don't remember wearing for years. As soon as I picked it up I could tell it had stuff in it, and sure enough, there were three Altoids tins, two of which were fairly packed with slutty igniter goodness. This is basically every igniter I've held in reserve over the years. I'd been working directly out of the pack of motors the last few launches and only had about ten in reserve, most of which I'd consider questionable. I feel complete.

They have nail polish on them. A decidedly slutty shade of red.

Hilarious.
If you grind up sparklers into a fine powder and mix with nitrocellulose lacquer it works even better.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought "Somebody finally turned YORF into a country song...all the hot topics are here"

Anybody get to try the new Estes "starters" are they slutty enough?
