I'm sure you guys will look the ignitions over and give your best advice on how to proceed.
The only reason I prefer this design of cap is due to the Silicon insulator inserts, which have a much higher temperature rating than the rubber inserts a lot of people use. Give it 20 or so flights and usually one of the inserts degrades, and has to be replaced. Even with air blowing directly on the plug caps, one of the rubber inserts melted on my Falkon ignition, and all my 3W ignitions with the rubber inserts did the same thing. 3W learned a biter lesson from this, I'm sure, and now uses the same silicon inserts that DA used form the beginning. So, now, I kind of insist on using the Silicon insert plug caps, to assure against any further problems of this nature.
