[RocketsNW] Ejection Charge Solution?

They look pretty much like regular e-matches to me. I am not sure how they
would be LEUP exempt. Not terribly hard to make low-current e-matches -
especially if all you want is to light BP. The chips work pretty well, and
it is no biggie to do one out of some fine nichrome and a hunk of twin lead
solid core. 

Also, today I joined the ranks of those of us letting our LEUPs lapse.

I have tried 1 Q2G2 in a ground test with my PerfectFlite MAWD.  It worked 
just fine, but I would like to hear the results of any other tests that have

been done.  I need to get more Q2G2's and try them in parallel with X-mas 
tree bulbs.
