Selecting a Launch Controller 

I built my own similar to how many others have said, I actually took the wires from 2 old estes electron beam controllers, cut the clips off of one of them, and soldered them together for a 30ft. cable. It has 11 volts and works fine for my mid-power rockets. once you know what igniter type you are going to use, it's really up to whether you want to spend more money on a new controller or spend more time making your own. as far as safety goes, I tend to like the ones that seem overkill, just in case. in my controller, I wired in a switch where the two cables connect so that in addition to the safety key (which you have to not only insert but turn) you have to first turn on that initial safety switch. anyway, sorry for rambling but helpful video, I really appreciate all of these in-depth tutorials and explanations and the large amount of information you have on just about every product on the site.

I built my own that had automatic countdown using a timer circuit that at 0 a relay would trip and fire the rocket igniter. it had a digital indicator.

I've built my own controller and it works great. These also look great

You didn't mention the Estes Pro Series 2 will use rechargable battery packs that allow launch of 6 blackpowder or 4 composite engines.

Nice Poem at the end!

thank you so much im makin my first model rocket

So you claim the wireless launcher has a range of about 200' which sounds great but on your website looking at the specs on that wireless launcher it claims it only has 40' of range. So which is it? 40 or 200?

Does the Estes pro series 2 controller work with quest a jet igniters?

I know this is kind a stupid question but I still don’t know the answer are the E matches are reusable

are the higher power controllers compatible with weaker engines?

Please give link for launch controller

I never worried about how much battery power I had. I always used a car battery.

Turn your key, sir!
