Model Rocket Launch Controller

Rocket Launcher by MadLab is a great electronic kit for model rocket enthusiasts. Say goodbye to unreliable launches.

Rocket Launcher is a model rocket electronic launch controller with a capacitor discharge firing system, making it more reliable than launchers that use batteries alone. The rocket launcher can be programmed with a count down between 10 to 90 seconds. Multiple launchers can be daisy chained together for synchronized launches, with 0 to 9 second synchronization delays. Simply connect them together using jack leads (one lead is included with each kit). Any unit can be the master launcher and will control the other units in the chain. Slave launchers wait for the master unit to launch, then wait an additional synchronization delay, launch themselves, and then signal the next unit in the launch chain.

For example, if a long chain is established with all the launch delays set to 2 seconds then a rocket will launch in sequence every two seconds. Any pushbutton on any unit will abort the countdown on all units.

Rocket Launcher by MadLab is an advanced skill level electronic kit. User assembly and component soldering is required.
