Eighth in line was the Solar Sailer on a C5-3.
Continuing my igniter misadventures I actually managed to almost set this one on fire.
I kept the current flowing so long that the paper separating the leads burst into flame.
It looked like an upside down candle sitting on the pad.
Strangely enough the exact same thing happened to this bird in 2009 with a B8 engine.

The C5 works better in this model than any other engine. A super flight!
