Copperhead substitutes

I will heading up to the lauch on Saturday. I will be flying my Aerotech Arreaux and my LOC Aura on F23-7FJs. My issue is that the Copperheads that came with the motors will not fit. Does anyone have any igniters that will fit into Aerotech Econojet motors that I can use?

EDIT: Try what Guy suggests below first.

1) Sometimes the propellant is not well aligned and seems to block clean insertion of the Copperhead.

When that happens I use a piece of wire (like from a coat hangar) to gently clear a straight path through the nozzle into the core of the propellant.

CLARIFICATION: This is only to gently clear away a tiny corner of the propellant that may have been sloppily cut NOT to puncture the body of the propellant in any way.

2) Another possibility is that the nozzle is blocked with flash (thin plastic left over from the molding process).

What I do to fix this is use Exacto blade point to carefully cut away flash. Don\'t cut into nozzle.

Copperheads are about the thinnest igniters available, their size is not normally the cause of the problem.

Peter,

AT makes at least one reload-type with a nozzle so small, you have to put the ignitor in while assembling and put the nozzle on over just the copper end of it.

I have some home made igniters that will fit through the nozzle of the D13\'s that Kenn mentions. They are a little on the short side but are probably long enough for Econojets.

I would like to give 2 of them a try. I tried Boris\' suggestions, and I nocited that the slot is totally out of view from the nozzle. I can \"feel\" it with a piece of wire, but that is it.
