Will my Estes launch system work with Aerotech composite motors?

The classic Estes, Quest and MRC 6 volt launch systems will not reliably ignite the Copperhead (TM) igniters that come with Aerotech motors, and Estes Solar Igniters (TM) will not ignite a composite. These motors need 12 volt systems for reliable ignition.
