Review Summary

The reviews highlight that this launcher is generally functional for basic use, effectively serving its purpose for low-power rocket launches with reliability noted by several users over extended periods and multiple launches. However, challenges include a safety key that requires significant force to hold down, often too difficult for younger users, and delays in ignition that can cause confusion. Additionally, some users mentioned issues with visibility of the armed circuit indicator in sunlight and minor inconveniences with tangled wires or one-handed operation.

It's Nothing Fancy

By: FinBurner (Brandonbacn@outlook.com)

This is a capable enough launcher. It has a key you have to insert as a safety precaution but it takes quite a bit of force to hold it down. The bulb that indicates that the circuit is armed can be difficult to see in bright sunlight. Overall, this isn't fancy but it will get the job done.

you get what you pay for

By: magicmikeyinc

I have and electron beam launcher. It does work, but not well. I wanted my 5 yo son to launch the rockets maiden voyage, but the safety key is too hard to push down for him so i had to hold it down. The launch button for whatever reason took at least 20 seconds to ignite even an a-series motor and he thought he was doing something wrong.
