Failure to ignite.
Have more motors
Comments
We had multiple of these motors fail to ignite at our last launch. They were all the same motor designation and the same batch number. No motor ignited using the provided igniters. Further attempts were made using First Fire Jnr igniters and while several did ignite, most of these attempts failed to achieve motor ignition. First Fire HPR igniters were also tried and most motors ignited when using these igniters however there were still several that refused to ignite after multiple attempts. These motors were owned by several different flyers at the event and all were still in original sealed packaging before being removed to load into rockets on the day.
