Valuable piece of support gear Review by Barry

My Electron Beam controller lives in my field box beside my Porta Pad II. Works great gor launching all of my smaller (up to D impulse) rockets. Has plenty of juice with fresh alkaline batteries to handle all but the busiest launch days. (Posted on 11/2/12)

good Review by Nathanael

this has served me well over about 6 years. it came with my older Patriot launch set which i got about 6 years ago. my hobby(and the controller) remained dormant for about 2 years following many succesful launches on that rocket. then, about 1.5 years ago i got back into the hobby and used this controller on all 15 of my rockets. it officially died on 9/23/12 when it refused to launch, light the bulb or do anything else. this may be because of rusting after it was flooded in Irene. i will be getting a new one ASAP

Good once you get the hang of it Review by MJA RocketWorks

I got this with my tandem x set. It works great! At first I had a lot of trouble launching with it, but here's my secret: lightly press down the key enough to get the light and hold it for 5 seconds as you count down from 10. After you say 5, press the launch button and your rocket should launch around when you say 1! Long battery life, I have gotten probably over 30 flights, not including my little brother who I share with him and his Cosmic Explorer. They have not died yet! Good job Estes! (Posted on 7/2/12)

This style of launcher has been around for years! I have a few of them and they all work flawlessly. (Posted on 4/19/12)

Easy to use Review by Kelly

Being new to launching rockets, I felt very comfortable in working with this launch controller. I worked with students and had a great day allowing them to work with me in launching their rockets. The controller is reliable and safe. (Posted on 4/10/12)

POWERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review by rocket master

Very powerfull when luanching A-D engines! Only downer is that you can't launch E engines with it,(to launch E engines you HAVE to buy the E launch controller). Over all I'd rate it FIVE BIG STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Posted on 1/10/12)

Over the years, this controller has served me well. It's taken many falls and has yet to let me down. (Posted on 12/11/11)

Very Reliable Review by Alexander

Best controller Ive seen. Most reliable and lasts for long periods. I do wish the clips were also more easier to work with when clipping them to the igniters. Overall awesome launcher. Its a cant go without as well. (Posted on 12/2/11)
