Looks like you had a BIG crowd there and show looked good.

So you had a full slat of 18 igniters, 10 of which fired, 8 didn't and all 8 were on this same rack? Were you using initiatiors/e-match or tallons?...

Like KDirk, I also try to minimize the number of connections and run igniter directly to slat or module as much as possible. However, for my...

Get the Cobra and never look back. A 72M with slats will get you a lot of versatility. Save money by buying the slats (and splitters, if you need...

I am from a little town called mocksville it is close to Winston Salem. I paid the $75 for that group and posted on their forum and have not had...

Welcome! What part of NC are you in? I'm brand new to the forums and just across the state line in northeast TN. I started off with some of the very...

Fantastic! Looking forward to my UPS delivery tomorrow. Appreciate the outreach and fast order fulfillment. I've used the Firefly system in the past,...

Thanks so much for the referral to Carolina Pyros - joined that group last night. And would definitely like to meet up in person someday, too. Will...

I wish I had answers to your questions. But just wanted to say welcome and have fun reading lots of knowledge on here.

I use both MJG initiators, and some talons yet. If something is timing critical, I will "poke" it (cake or canister) and insert a MJG. For less...

Thanks. For the input. I just like the display of the R3. I know as a backyard shooter I don’t need it.

If not in a hurry, wait until Black Friday. They usually ship fairly quickly. They know a lot of us shoot NYE and seem to try to get the Black Friday...

Which do you prefer? Talon? MJG? Or ematch?

Price point. I am just a backyard shooter maybe 1-3 times a year.

Curious why your only debating between ignite and Cobra? FireTEK and Mongoose? Personally I use FireTEK and you couldn't give me a different...

Model rocket igniters are pretty similar, but the construction is different. E-match/igniters have a little piece of circuit board that the...

I have stayed with regular spring terminals type slat, and bare wire end initiators. I have one 18M that has both quick plugs on cues 1-12, and mini...

I got it now. I was going to ask why not just put a fire blanket over the expensive stuff. But you answered that question with the wear and tear...

No problem. The learning curve on this stuff isn't too bad, of course I'm a tech minded sort from way back, so took to it quickly. Slats are great...

KDirk Thanks for the advice. Now I need to figure out how to use slats. I am new at this. So YouTube here I come.

If no rush, then by all means wait until the Black Friday sale. As stated previously, if you can justify the cost of the 72M, go with that and bundle...

Hello, Dropbox link is down, any chance of a reupload?
