Clive: some estes igniters will work in MMX motors but the tiny nozzles make it difficult to find igniters that will fit. You can certainly use the Quest...

Clive, I had pretty miserable luck with the standard MMX igniters and the (lousy) 9V launch control system. Maybe about a 30~40% successful launch rate. It...

Art Applewhite's BiC Stick rocket kit uses a different source for launch lugs. Since the rocket is made from a BiC pen, you simply cut a couple 3/8 inch...
