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.

Peter,

If the launch is moved to Sunday because of the wind, there is a good chance that I won\'t be able to make it.. But since you live in Millbury and I live in Douglas we could probably meet up somewhere and I could give you a couple igniters. You could bring the motors along to see if they will fit.

I am in Canton now. However, that doesn\'t mean we still couldn\'t meet up if the launch is moved to Sunday. If the call is made today, let me know where to meet you.

I wll be at the launch on Sunday with my Aerotech Arreaux and my LOC Aura. I will be flying them both on F23-7FJs. I am in need of ignitors in order to fly them. I have tried to sand down the ignitors to to avail. I hate Copperheads, they never fit into the motors. I even tried Boris\' trick with the wire and the ignitor is still not going in. Please, if anyone has anything that will fit into an Econojet motor, let me know. After this, I only have 2 more Econojets left in my arsenal.

Tony,

Thank you for your help yesterday. Now we both know that your smallest ignitors will light a F motor.
