Tried an Estes Sonic ignitor. No go. Used my own and it chuffed a lot (old motor) and hit the road! Good up part. Huge long bonus Aerotech delay at over 7 seconds stripped 3 shroud line. And insufficient protection melted a hole... Still recovered in soft ground cover. One fin broken at the tube. Repaired.
