All, Looking for help or ideas. Went to finish out some 4H launches and could not get C6-5s to go.
Using the following:
Estes Electron Beam Controller - Controller confirmed good by previous launches (between 4 and 8), and 2 launches today of A8-5 and B6-4
AA batteries - were new between 4 and 8 launches ago, used for 2 launches and all the C6-5 attempts today
C6-5s - Were part of a bulk pack that had previously launched 8 other rockets with no problems. Today 4 different ones wouldn't go
Igniters - From the same Estes bulk packs
I checked for crossed wires/leads, igniter fully inserted, plug fully inserted, and that I had the batteries in correctly (found that one when the safety light wasn't glowing good).
I'm stumped. I have other launch controllers and batteries to bring to more launches later today, I just packed light thinking that these last 5 launches would go smooth, because every time you have to get something done the day before it's due it always goes perfectly
Any insights in to what I should check/do differently later today would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks
Cappy
