Brief: Construction: As suggested in t' included instructions, shiver me timbers, I measured t' resistance o' t' ematches. Ahoy! This is always a good idea, matey, shiver me timbers, as 3 o' t' 8 ematches came in at over 3 ohms resistance. Ahoy! In a vacuum bottle test these were ignited easily with me Perfectflite MAWD, me hearties, but on a lower current altimeter, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, matey, 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. Begad! 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, me hearties, me bucko, sturdy cardboard tube. Ya scallywag! I went with t' large even though I was 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, ya bilge rat, t' BP was poured in and t' balance o' t' space be wedged with recovery wadding. Tape is used t' seal t' waddin' and powder in and you're all set. Ya scallywag! Begad! Durin' t' flight, all 3 o' me main fins shredded due t' t' design I had chosen t' go with, arrr, causin' t' rocket t' go into a violent skywritin' mode. Avast, me proud beauty! Despite this, t' recovery system held up beautifully and functioned without incident.
Overall, ya bilge rat, me bucko, this is a nice product that appears t' be competitively priced. Avast! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! It is very easy t' use. Nay knowin' what t' matches are made with, arrr, shiver me timbers, I must go with t' manufacturer's statement that these will continue t' be able t' be shipped and used under new regulations, and if he's correct in this, me bucko, it makes t' product even more attractive since shippin' should be considerably cheaper than t' competitors.
