002303 - STARTECH™ Starters

The new StarTech starters stay true to the design of the
original, with one key addition. The small nichrome wire, the one
that heats the propellant at launch, has been dipped in a
specially crafted chemical compound that reacts with the heat of
the wire to create a large burst of heat and pressure that
ensures ignition. Never misfire again! Includes 6 starters.

Description

60 years ago, Vern Estes released the first commercially
available model rocket motors. With it, came the Estes Starters
that we all know and love. They’ve fueled the hobby for decades
and are responsible for safer model rocket launches than any
starter in history. When it came time to update this technology,
we wanted to stay true to the simple design that made the Estes
starters and motors a legendary combination, we just wanted to
kick it up a notch! The new StarTech starters stay true to the
design of the original, with one key addition. The small nichrome
wire, the one that heats the propellant at launch, has been
dipped in a specially crafted chemical compound that reacts with
the heat of the wire to create a large burst of heat and pressure
that ensures ignition. Never misfire again!
