this only works if you do it just right. what you need is a long wick black powder aluminum pipe model rocket rocket engine hot glue gun pliers igntion system and a pvc pipe. you take the pipe and clamp the bottom shut with the pliers. you then drill a hole in the pipe. after preping the pipe fill it with black powder. then clamp the top shut. place the fuse or wick into the hole you drilled and carefully place hot glue around it and the ends so its air tight. the fuse has to be long enough so that when it is placed in the rockets body it can reach the engine to be ignited.
when you get the pipe to fit snuggly into the rockets body rig the fuse to were the engine goes so that when you put the engine in it will ignite correctly. duct tpe the noseccone onto the rocket. place the engine in and take the fuse and the electric ignition for the rocket place them in the engine how you are supposed to regulary are to do it exept with the wick in there to so it lights.
now for the tricky part. shooting it requries 2 people.
you take the ignition box tape it to your pvc pipe and hold it. have your friend place the rocket into the back and connect the clips were they are supposed to go. place a back cove on the pipe suqurly so it wont fall off. then let it fly. ive done this half a dozen times and it works about 3/4s the times. expensive but well worth doing trust me
