Brief: Construction: As suggested in t' included instructions, I measured t' resistance o' t' ematches. Avast! Blimey! This is always a good idea, shiver me timbers, as 3 o' t' 8 ematches came in at over 3 ohms resistance. Arrr! Blimey! In a vacuum bottle test these were ignited easily with me Perfectflite MAWD, but on a lower current altimeter, this might prove t' be a problem. PROS: CONS: Use: Summary: Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
Product arrived well packaged with all o' t' appropriate warnin' labels attached via US Mail. They are packed 4 t' a package. Aye aye! Ya scallywag! I received 2 packages which turned out t' be a good thin' as detailed later.
Each EZ ejection canister is basically an ematch cemented into a thick, sturdy cardboard tube. I went with t' large even though I be only usin' 1.5-2oz o' propellant as I had gotten some 1" copper tube caps t' insert them into and it only took a couple o' layers o' maskin' tape t' friction fit t' canisters into t' caps.
For flight, t' BP was poured in and t' balance o' t' space was wedged with recovery wadding. Aye aye! Tape is used t' seal t' waddin' and powder in and you're all set. Begad! Aye aye! Durin' t' flight, matey, all 3 o' me main fins shredded due t' t' design I had chosen t' go with, causin' t' rocket t' go into a violent skywritin' mode. Aye aye! Ahoy! Despite this, matey, t' recovery system held up beautifully and functioned without incident.
Overall, this is a nice product that appears t' be competitively priced. Aye aye! Ahoy! It is very easy t' use. Aye aye! Nay knowin' what t' matches are made with, matey, I must go with t' manufacturer's statement that these will continue t' be able t' be shipped and used under new regulations, shiver me timbers, and if he's correct in this, it makes t' product even more attractive since shippin' should be considerably cheaper than t' competitors.
