Another DD e-match question
Preparing for my first DD flight I bought a box of e-matches through the club. The HPR guys were ordering a lot and I asked them to get a box for me. They are MJG Technologies: Electric Match. This was a year ago and I am finally ready (almost) for a DD. The av-bay is done, I understand the Stratologger and the Archtype cable cutter procedures.
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.
