G'day guys,
I recently made a new launch controller, in eager anticipation of firing my first clusters and AT's. The Estes Electron Beam that i got with my starter kit just won't cut it! Navajo and i got the parts at a Radio Parts (same as Radio Shack in the States). Building it was challenging but rewarding in the end.
Building the controller ourselves ended up the cheaper option after looking at commercial alternatives. It cost me aprox. $35 USD including battery. I challenge you to find a better price.
I have now ended up with a good looking controller to launch any type of rocket I like.
Here is a photo of my controller and 12v gel cel:
