There's a midpower setup in the ring of near pads with a continuity button (I only found out about it when a high power friend helped me set up the Partizon). I'm not sure about the others.<br /><br />What seems to have been the problem, at least in part, was that one or more of the igniters got pulled out slightly. This happened on all three of my clusters.<br /><br />It'll all be detailed in an upcoming post. I hope to get it written soon. I have not been blogging as much as I should lately. Just too busy! But now that launch season is over and work is calming down, the blog will get more of my attention.<br /><br />It was a very frustrating day, and not a fun way to end the launch season. But I got some good pictures and video for the blog, so it wasn't a total wash. And I launched my first composite motor - what a kick!The Rocket N00bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07235411077821163466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979349821452260961.post-40728801803844084502015-12-03T11:00:54.026-05:002015-12-03T11:00:54.026-05:00Wow!

It was interesting that the Q2G2s didn't ignite the clusters. Does that club system have individual line continuity checks? I have had one instance where only one engine ignited on a two engine cluster using the Q2G2s. <br />Well, on a positive note, odds are your next launches should be perfect!
