rocket shells

[flame on a stick]

i was told that if you take the flame from the top left hand of a rockets end plug for a shell, it wouldnt need a delay. but when i tryed it, it fired the shell of after 10 ft. any body know how i can remedy this?

First of all, please use correct spelling, unless you want warnings.

I think a delay is needed almost always. When your rocket is an endburner, you'll need a shorter delay then when it's a coreburner. The amount of delay composition depends on the quality, build and size of your rocket, and can only be determined by exactly copying a commercial rocket or by experimenting.
