I've built several birds to use them, but, alas, it seems the time has just never been right.

Thank you! Now that you mention it, the "staging igniters" (fuses--I never got around to building my Centrixes, and gave them and their motors to the Dade County Rocketry Association before I moved to Alaska) looked like Jetex wick and Centuri "Sure-Shot" igniters.
