I have a whip-clip arrangement that provides just a little bit longer for
ignition. I'll check continuity on each igniter after installing. Other than
that, just experience.

I’ll bet it looks sweet with all 5 E9 lit – any special plans to insure the
cluster lights all 5?
God speed. J

Attached is a 30th anniversary (not the 40th) Estes Saturn V that I'm flying at
NSL. The kit was donated by Brother John Van Norman, built by me, and
displayed at various events over the last year. Now, it's time for this bird
to fly! I added an adapter to use five E9's, about 1/4 lb nose weight (just
aft of the command module) and an altimeter bay. I'm using a PerfectFlite WD
for deployment.
Although the big high-powered rockets are probably the coolest, it's still fun
to build and launch model rockets.
