Hi Ken,
Do you believe the choice of the oxidizer was a contributing factor? If so, how?
Thanks.

For most uses, though, torch
igniters seem quite satisfactory.
I second that with >1000 successful torch ignitions under my belt.
Years ago I turned down a job with Beal Aerospace because he wouldn't budge
from HTP as his main/only oxidizer.
When I suggested he think about alternative oxidizers like LOx, he nearly got
angry. With such a closed mind attitude I felt the company's days were numbered.
The rest is history.

Kerosene, etc.).
