2 Motor Cluster Launch System

Hello,

I am building a rocket with a 2-motor cluster for the upcoming launch.

Was wondering if we have a 9-volt or 12-volt launch system through which the 2-motor cluster could be ignited.

Thanks & Regards

I've launched 2 and 3 motor clusters, so you should have no problem. I do recommend the right side controller though. More reliable for clusters for some reason.

I look forward to seeing it... If we can ever get a good weather day for a launch!

Here is a video of Jeff Myers "ClusterDuck" launched at CENJARS launch in 2018 with six C6s and one C11 motor. This cluster of seven motors was fired from my wireless controller. ALL SEVEN MOTORS IGNITED!

Please outfit your rocket with rail buttons — mini (20mm) or 1010. If only one motor should ignite, a rail is your best bet to give the rocket some initial vertical guidance instead of having it squirreling around and possibly injure somebody. If you need a good source for rail buttons, get them from Randy Milliken at rail-buttons.com.

Thanks for the advice. I will use 1010 3-piece rail buttons in my rocket.

Looking forward to the next launch!
