Make Your Own Launch Controller

Launching a rocket is the best few seconds of the entire hobby. But with the standard Estes controllers most people use, the launch experience is, well, underwhelming…

And to go out and figure out how to make your own is downright confusing, expensive, and frustrating… until now. 

What if someone showed you the no-brainer steps, exactly what to purchase, and precisely what to do? (Good luck finding that on YouTube…)

How good would that feel to build something of your own while COMPLETELY avoiding the headache of unforeseen issues, guesswork, and endless troubleshooting? 

Well, you’re in luck. License to Launch includes ALL of that and more and will get you 100% of the way to building your own incredible launch controller to make launches 10x more fun!

Get the exact instructions to DIY your own awe-inspiring launch controller without wasting your time, money, or frustration.

Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I’m Kevin. I’m a professional videographer, entrepreneur, and model rocket enthusiast. As I’ve built and launched more and more model rockets, I’ve realized that the launch experience wasn’t living up to what it could be because of the cheap and simple controllers you typically get with rocket kits. They don’t even attempt to embody the same launch sequence and excitement that comes with NASA or SpaceX launches. 

So, I set out to build my own launch controllers. 

What I found was a nightmare collection of poorly produced, confusing YouTube videos that didn’t explain what I was trying to accomplish. Like, at all. I ordered SO much stuff that didn’t end up working and spent hundreds of hours researching and tinkering and banging my head against the wall until finally I got it right and built something that looked gorgeous and worked like a charm. 

License to Launch is my documentation of the exact process I formed that came out of all of the hundreds of dollars and hours I spent frustratingly trying to figure it out from scratch. Having my own launch controller has made my model rocket hobby SO much more fun, and you’re moments away from being able to do the same. 

But enough talking, let’s get to building! See you inside. 

Frequently Asked Questions

After you purchase, you will receive a link via email to access the course and stream the videos and download the extra content. Easy peasy!

No! If you do have experience, that will obviously help, but we built License to Launch such that you don’t need any prior knowledge to be able to complete these builds. We built it to be extremely approachable, because we were so frustrated at how fragmented and confusing the rest of the internet was on this topic!

Yes! We start at the very basics, including how the circuitry on these controllers works, how to organize and test your circuitry before ever installing it on the controller box, and how to troubleshoot the controller if it is not working properly at the end. The Materials Vault also gives the exact list of materials we used in these builds so that you can follow along verbatim if you’d like!

Yes! Buying too many things that didn’t work was one of the most frustrating parts of building the controllers ourselves. So, License to Launch comes with a Materials Vault where we give you links to the exact products we use in our builds so you can replicate it exactly if you’d like!

These controllers are 100% solder-free, and we show you how to do the same as well in a SAFE manner.

We tried to make this as simple as we could, without the use of extra gear. You will need a drill, drill bits, screwdrivers, a razor blade or cutting tool, and a heat gun (although a hair dryer should do the trick as a substitute). That’s it! (No soldering needed.) The exact materials we use in the builds are conveniently listed in our Materials Vault so you can follow along exactly step by step if you choose!

No. High Powered Rockets use a different launching system with different electrical requirements. Our course is meant to take the place of the typical Estes launch controllers that power engine sizes of up to D and E engines.

Due to the digital nature of License to Launch, no refunds will be issued for the purchase of the course. However we are here to handle any other customer support requests right away (such as if you purchased the course twice on accident, etc.). Visit our contact page to reach out and we’d be glad to help you.

REAL Reviews From REAL Customers

“Thanks for creating this excellent resource. So much fun. For all you parents with kids on remote learning, this is the perfect STEM activity to fill in those missing gaps. Not only does their website have so much useful information for beginners available FOR FREE, their video course follows through on their description and more. You get very clear step-by-step instructions, but because they actually teach you what you’re doing throughout, you can then make/modify the launch controller however you want. Like getting fish AND learning how to fish.”
- John Y.
“I have to commend you on the work you put into this course. The videos are great; very easy to follow, and pretty thorough in explaining every step.”
- Frank G.
“I am so thrilled with the results of this course. The videos are so detailed. No steps are skipped. The lighting, sound and pace of his example build is perfect. I built my first one with the exact parts suggested and now that I'm a bit more comfortable, I am ordering different parts for a second build. This is 10 times more enjoyable to use for launching rockets than to push a button on a goofy remote control!!”
- Paul D.
