Hot Coil Kits come to you with all the material required to build your own ejection charges. The kit comes with 10 cardboard canisters, 10 bulkheads, 10 feet of bonded pair shooting wire and enough nichrome wire to assemble at least 10 Hot Coils. Each order comes with complete instructions detailing construction. Bachelder said he has bench tested many of the coils himself and has not had one failure. "They are very robust and practically indestructible," Bachelder stated. "Each and every one of them has functioned as designed and fired the ejection charge on cue." You should know that the Hot Coils product requires higher current than ordinary e-matches — most altimeters manufactured today will not fire them. "However," Bachelder says, "the PerfectFlite HA45K and it’s robust firing current is perfectly suited for the job." Peter Lawall of PerfectFlite and Bachelder teamed up to make the Hot Coils Kit a reality. Bachelder added, "I thank Peter for his valued input, with out him this would not have been possible." Hot Coil Kits are not regulated "in any way, shape form or fashion," Bachelder claims, and can be shipped USPS Priority Mail. Assembly will require a few skills — these are easily learned and can be accomplished by most anyone. A few facts:
Hot Coils Package deal: A PerfectFlite HA45K together with a Hot Coil Kit is only $90.00 plus shipping and handling. This is a limited offer. Please allow three weeks for delivery.

Innovation breeds regulation.
Regulation breeds innovation.
I have a suggestion. Regulate less.
Breed less hatred for the government.

Even though anyone 21 or older can walk into a gun store and buy black powder without a LEUP, the Almighties that be at the BATF
So we're still stuck.
I commend Quickburts and PerfectFlite for joining forces and trying to come up with an alternative but we're still not there yet.
"According to David Bachelder, the owner of QuickBurst, you can fly dual deployment without a LEUP using his product."
Under the few facts, it states at number 7:
"Hot Coils will work with smokeless powders. However using black powder and smokeless powders in rocketry requires an ATF permit. A permit is not required to purchase."
That's deceptive. If an ATF permit is required in rocketry for black and smokeless powders, then you can not "fly dual deployment without a LEUP using this product." Perhaps the article needs to be renamed something else...
If you tink I'm deceptive, talk to the ATF. They wrote the book on deceptive.

From your post on various email mailing lists:
With the help of Peter Lawall from PerfectFlite I am pleased to announce a COST free alternative to e-matches. See the Hot Coils on the QuickBurst website. A FREE alternative to e-matches.
Note:
Hot Coils are FREE, but there is a $1.50 handling fee for each one plus $6.00 shipping: Minimum order: groupings of 10.
See:
