Two-wire convenience. Most modelers will like the 2-wire style of this igniter, since they are easy to hook up using standard "alligator" clips.

Tough and Durable. This igniter has a small glass bead that holds the wires together, making it nearly impossible to spread the wires too far. That, by the way, is how most igniters are damaged; when kids accidently spread them too wide apart and damage the small wire inside the pyrogen on the tip of the igniter. Not with these igniters; the glass bead holds the wires tight, making them far tougher than the standard Estes Solar Igniter™.

Reliable With Low Voltage Launch Controllers. As you can see, this igniter uses a low-resistance copper wire, so that all the current is directed at the tiny bridge-wire in the tip. It heats up fast, insuring quick burst of heat to get the motor fired quickly -- even with weak batteries. It works with the Sky Launch Controller.

"By the way; several modelers in rocketry forumns have stated, in no uncertain terms, how valuable your contributions have been to them. One individual also said that we, as a group, don't acknowledge often enough your hard work and contribution to the sport. Just thought you'd like to know how you, your company and your efforts are perceived." -- Chuck Longton
