Default Estes Product Testers Needed

THANKS, My in box has over thirty responses already, so Estes has plenty of testers. If you get a response from me tonight your on the list


[/COLOR]
Estes is in need of 24 individuals to test an updated version of our E-Beam Launch Controller. This latest version uses a High Intensity Red LED instead of a standard light bulb. We need the testing done as soon as possible which means you need to launch a few rockets after receiving the controller and not wait until Spring brings warmer weather. This updated version is compatible with Q2G2 igniters, which is something I encourage you to test as well.

We need to know if the controller works after installing the 4 AA batteries. You will most likely need to supply the batteries, Sorry!

Can you see the Red LED light in the Sun at least as well as the standard light-bulb?

Were there any problems launching your black powdered model rocket motors?

Any other feed back is welcomed as well.

What will you get if you do this for Estes? A personal thank you from me! You can keep the controller and although I can not promise this since I’m writing this from home, I will try and include a small item in the box as a thank you but it won’t be something that will require a Hazmat shipping fee.

What I need from the first 24 inquires is a name and shipping address to send the E-Beam too.


You can send your responses to my personal email account



Thanks

Email sent (ok, two cause I forgot the address).

I've got an old Solar Launch Controller that I converted to LED also. I might even do a comparison.
