Are First Fire igniters able to be used with a PET2 timer for air start?
I have not been able to find any current specs. for them.
Davyfire seems to be gone…
I will not be flying it till next year. Just gathering info.

NO, DO NOT USE anything but an e-match with pretty much any timer or altimeter. That is a pretty good general rule. Almost all standard igniters (non e-match) draw way to much current for an altimeter or timer to fire them.
Tim Thomas with Giant Leap Rocketry sells e-matches. You don’t have to use DavyFire’s, as long as the match fits the same general profile, it will work.

What Art said. All you do is dip the e-match(es) in pyrogen. Members of the club can help you there. Ask Art.
