Make sure that what you are doing is legal and safe. It might be a good idea to look into systems that are already designed for this type of application. Whatever you do, make sure that you don't have rockets/explosives going off when you don't want them to.
Thank you for the advice. Safety is my biggest concern and it is also the reason i built this system. I never felt safe lighting fuses and then scurying off to safety. I have many safety features built into it such as a key switch so only i can use it, diodes to make sure the electricity only goes where its supposed to, and as another safety feature i wired it so that 2 switches must be pushed to ignite any one rocket. I had not thought of the wireless system going off from interfearance or signals from another source. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll have to do some research.
