That is the first Servo Launcher I've seen a good picture of. Very nice collection of stuff!
I had a couple of the "other" Centuri launch panels. The boxy plastic ones that connected to a lantern battery. (A variant model connected to a car battery, "Sports Car Not Included!") I sold these to a collector about ten years ago. I was so broke as a kid! I used fuses scrounged from firecrackers because I couldn't get together the "scratch" for both motors and lantern batteries. >>>FUME<<<< My dad spent as much on booze every week as a good starter set with batteries. I guess I learned important lessons in self-reliance and frustration.

That is the launcher that came in the starter kit my dad bought me when I started in the hobby. It was very reliable.

Stefan:
We didn't have much growing up, either. I can still see my neighbors, with frayed launch wires, rubbing them across the terminals of their car battery, looking back over their shoulder to see the lift off. I don't remember reading about that technique in any of the Estes catalogs.

Refit an LED for the bulb before you try that. With continuity check at the pad instead of the remote controller, a big surprise awaits... Bill
