FYI-
Use pisted twares... that is, twisted pairs for the ignitor leads, or at least a zipped pair. Not only does it keep the installation neater, but it reduces the antenna loop area of the leads, reducing the potential for enough rf energy to be induced to cause a problem.
Observe the routing of ignitor leads and other wiring. Avoid proximity to internal antennas and other electronics. It has been speculated that hybrid high-energy (spark) ignition systems have caused premature ignition.

...or fried altimeters. We're relatively sure that's what got Lusty on her maiden flight -- a breakwire too close (and parallel to) the HyperTEK igniter.
Hindsight is a glorious thing!
