Electron Beam Model Rocket Launch Controller

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.

I have used this product launching at least 100 rockets now with a group of Cub Scouts in my Den and have not had issues with launches. As another person wrote, the safety button was tough to hold down for a young person, but after about 15 uses it seemed to soften the rubber on the safety pin and it worked fine for ages 8-13 yrs.

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.
