Estes 2230 E Launch Controller, E-Engine Rocket-Model Launch Controller, Model Rocket Kit Accessories for Ages 10+

Made well. Item works great

I launched a rocket with my dad and it was cool one exploded lol

In case anyone is interested, I use this as a fireworks lighter along with nichrome wire. It works quite well and is much cheaper than the fireworks electronic lighters that are available. It is in fact the same idea it's just that here there is only one circuit. I used some Estes igniters just to see if they would work and they did but they are much to expensive to use on a regular basis hence the nichrome wire.JW

More stable than the standard kit and longer cord Good buy!

I bought this to ignite the E motors in my mean machine rocket. Worked like a charm on E and D motors.

The media could not be loaded. This is very robust with heavy wires and four battery capacity - no misfires with this one!

This is the biggest piece of junk you'll ever buy.Out of the box, it did not work. It did not complete the circuit internally.The parts you can try to adjust are sealed inside plastic so you have to break the device open to try to fix it. By break, I mean a knife and broken plastic. It will not snap back together.I could not remedy the faulty connection in my unit. The light never came on. The switch never triggered the igniter.I eventually used the unit as a battery holder and held the wires to the battery terminals. After that "use", I threw the unit away.Save your money. Teach your kid to solder to switches together for a 2-switch trigger (this is what you're buying). Your kid will get more out of it, you'll save a little money, and avoid enormous frustration.

This design is probably from the 1950's and is due for an overhaul... a simple switch and batteries shouldn't be unreliable and this is...
