Pyrotechnic as in you worked out some sort of radio trigger for a
standard electric model rocket engine igniter?

Or...timed burn fuse material? That could be exciting!

I will revisit your website often to watch your progress.

I'm still just reading up on the status of the technology, myself.

Nice to see I won't need to start from scratch, but the learning curve
before committing to a prototype design is that much steeper, too.

Best of luck!
