Flint:

Just what *do* you mean about a single match with the cup for the cluster???
I follow your other concept and have thought about clusters someday myself
and like the sound of your two quick match per engine w/cup method that
"separate" on blowing the cup and igniting the matches.

Just how disruptive to the flight would it be if one engine in a 2 or 3 (or
more) cluster assembly failed?  Intuitively I would guess it'd not affect
the flight to a destructive or HORRIBLY flight altering extent.

Duh . . . I think I just figured it out before pressing the <SEND> key.  You
mean a single match PER ENGINE as opposed to two matches per engine as you
originally suggested - right?
