Cheap materials led to malfunctioin

This controller is made of cheap plastic and cheap metal. The button would not cause the rocket to launch. After removing the back cover, we saw that a plastic piece was broken preventing the button from contacting the metal piece to complete the circuit. Now, in order to launch we have to wrestle, twist and press the metal pieces together in order to fire the rocket. This is our second Estes controller to fail. We will definitely be looking for another brand of controller from now on.

Good heavy wire

The media could not be loaded. This is very robust with heavy wires and four battery capacity - no misfires with this one!
