Hiya folks, my little boy received the Estes Tandem-X set for his birthday. We went to launch some rockets last weekend, and it appears the controller did not produce enough juice to launch the rockets. I called Estes, and the lady I spoke to in customer service was very helpful, but recommended I purchase only certain 9 volt batteries. I couldn't find them in stock at 3 stores, so I went to Radio Shack. I purchased an 8xAA battery holder with snap connector for $2.99 plus tax, and bought two packs of alkaline batteries. We intend to try it out tomorrow. The continuity light comes on (QUITE BRIGHT!) and hope I don't ruin the controller. Any thoughts? Anything else I might want to watch out for?
