2240 Pro Series II Launch Controller, Flying-Rocket-Model Launch Controller, Rocket Model Kit Accessories for Ages 10+

Spent a lot of frustrating hours trying to build my own, threw in the towel and bought a real live launch controller. This one is very nicely made. The plastic case is heavy duty and everything seems high quality and well fitted/designed. Have not actually launched a rocket with it yet but have tested it with an e - match. Price point was good and it works great!

It works very well on my f and g medium power rockets worth every penny I would definitely buy it again.

I like that it uses C alkaline batteries so you launch all day without having to change batteries. Super easy to use, insert the key, press and hold the left button then press the right (launch button) to launch. It has a good weight to it, even without the batteries, it is comfortable and stable to hold. It’s the perfect size for two handed operation. It’s built very well and will last a long time. It is built to launch multiple engines rockets, up to four engines and has the wiring diagrams for two, three and four engines. I still keep my blue pro II series launcher in my tool box as a backup but this is my main launch controller.

I had been using the Estes Electron Beam launch controller that came with the starter kit but when I bought a rocket that used Aerotech motors and igniters, it didn’t have the power to ignite it! I was running RC stuff that day too, so I pulled the wires out of it and touched them across a 3s lipo I had. That worked great and I was going to keep it that way. But a couple weeks later I saw this pop up on sale and decided yo buy it. It has an option to install a small lipo using a jst plug. I put a 3s 1000mah lipo in it and it has ignited everything I have thrown at it! I checked the battery after 10 launches and it was still reading over 4 volts per cell!! I could have kept using the wire to battery method but this adds an air of professionalism to our launch days.

This is the best of the Estes launch controllers that I have. Works great. The grandkids love the beeping sound that it makes before launch. Just make sure that the clips not being used are not touching or there will be a short circuit and no ignition.

Excellent controller, had other cheaper ones and had issues having enough juice to ignite the igniters. This controller launched 20 rockets in a row with no issues.

hope it works. i will let you know when i finally get all the parts and find out where i can launch them

Fast shipping, electronic launch igniter system works perfectly! I used a 11.1v 3S LiPo with 1100mah and a JST connector but can also use 6 alkaline "C" batteries.

I would have given it 5 stars except I find the construction to be a bit flimsy. Battery life is reasonable and the leads are sufficiently long. We have used it for about 6 months and there have been no problems to date.

even after changing the batteries, putting the key in, the red light will not turn on, nor will the buttons signal a charge.
