18mm Igniter Standoff?

If you've launched any Micromaxx rockets you know how to install the igniter. You push in the bare wire igniter and use a toothpick to hold it in place. You don't shove the toothpick in, you simply slide the model down the rod onto the toothpick. The weight of the model holds the toothpick and igniter in the nozzle.

I save most all my Quest Q2G2 igniters for clusters. I do have quite a few Quest engines and can use Estes igniters in them. But the Estes plugs aren't made to fit the Quest nozzles.
I wondered if the toothpick idea could work in the Quest engines?

I cut the cotton ball end off a Q-tip and pressed it in the Quest nozzle after the igniter was set in place.
Again, don't cram it in there, just enough to hold the igniter in place.






TIP: Just like the toothpick in the MicroMaxx engine, the Q-tip makes an automatic stand off!
The Q-tip raises the nozzle up and off the blast deflector.
