TOPIC: Incense sticks

I’ve been using incense sticks for lighting my TSP motors , I have one burning in a holder on a tin lid , they produce a heat source but no flame which reduces the risk of burning your model , they aren’t blown out by any wind and the smoke produced makes a great wind telltale for direction and strength , they could in theory be used to light internally mounted motors - I haven’t tried . And lastly you can use them to offer up prayers to a deity of your choice for a safe flight !



Roger asks:

I take it you are lighting the fuse with an incense stick and not stickying it up the orifice? Please enlighten!

As to prayers: trust in God and keep your motors dry!

Yes the fuse Roger , never had any misfires .

What a great idea.
