I have read on the forums the three most important steps in avionics are:
1. Ground test
2. Ground test
3. Ground test.
I set everything up and the e-match head is too long for the cable cutter. I cannot install the cap.
I rigged an Estes starter, keep the remaining igniters for flights, and everything worked fine.
So, the question is, what e-matches will fit in an Archtype cable cutter?
Thanks to all.

I used the MJG "Firewire" initiators with the cable cutter last weekend. It was tight, but it did fit, and worked fine.
