Would this include activation of avionics using a breakwire for low 
speed/g-force launches, or just using breakwires for lighting motors? Scotty B.

I think a launch controller is a type of ignition system.  They
may be referring to cluster and staging ignition?  But yes, the
TCC controller is great as is...

I still haven’t read it all but either way our launch

It references the
switched in regards to motor ignition and seems to refer to the launch
controller: 



  







2-12.6 A rocket
motor shall not be ignited by any of the following: 





a. A switch that
uses mercury. 





b. “Pull wires”
that disconnect or complete a circuit. 





c. “Pressure
roller” switches 





  





---- 





  





It does not make
reference to av-bar arming switches.

Hey All I have
attached the 2012 Tripoli sanctioned rules and we are a Tripoli club so
everyone needs to read them, print them carry them or however you want to help
enforce and use our newest rules, I will get time this week to really study
them but I noticed a couple of quick ones like 

  

Section 2-18
Participation now reads in part: 

"Non-HPR
Fliers are allowed in the High Power Launch Area if escorted by  

a HPR Flier. A HPR
Flier may escort and be accompanied by not more than  

two (2) non-HPR
fliers in the High Power Launch Area. The HPR flier  

escort is required
to monitor the actions of the escorted non-HPR  

fliers, and the
escort is fully responsible for those actions and for  

the safety of
those escorted." 

  

There are other changes. 
For example, the use of mercury switches, pull  

wires, and roller
switches have now been banned.  This means there are  

various products
by different manufactures that can no longer be used  

for air-starts. 

  

  

I don’t want to
due a review until I have had time to look the complete pages over.
