Launch Controller Features

High-current remote relay system with a reliable igniter continuity readout back to the controller.

A self distruct button would be nice :-) But really, a voltage meter would very handy, nothing is worse than pushing the button and nothing happens because your battery is low or dead. Dave Tribrids rule ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Griffith TRA 7956 The R.A.T.T.-works Monterey Machine Products

I want pretty much the same things Dave mentioned, except I don't need remote continuity checking. Just check it out at the pad -- and of course it needs to be flashbulb-safe. I also like to have a launch button sturdy enough that I can step on it to launch the rocket, leaving my hands free to snap a liftoff photo.

The Pratt SureFire II is the system I own and it already has every feature I need, all in a convenient, portable container.

Oh yeah, that's also a must, and is another feature I like in the Pratt SureFire. :)

• But really, a back up launcher for when the overly complex system fails.

Do you ever catch yourself pushing harder when you have a misfire? Pointless as it seems, I'm guilty :-)
