That’s interesting, this year Estes rebuilt the machine that makes E12s and the 29mm motors. |

Great pictures Erik you had some really great flights! +1 to what Bill said excellent lift off shot of the Aero-Dart. Also excellent lift off shot of the F23 Black Max in the Maxi Alpha. So cool

What do you use for ignition power ?
When doing clusters you really should use a 12v wet-cell NO SMALLER than a motorcycle battery, even for BP clusters. Your delay in ignition was undoubtedly due to insufficient quick current dump.

You are correct. It's not a power problem though. My clips and whip are overdue to be replaced and I was trying to get one more launch session out of them before I replace everything. I use a fully charged car battery for ignition.

Sounds like you need to get in the Jeffries Tubes and replace some power conduits.
