Quest Launch Controller Battery Note
These work best with the Quest launch controller and FirstFire Micro initiators.

Good to know.
I've fired Q-Jet initiators with the little Estes 9V Astron II launch controller when using a good quality alkaline 9V (Duracell) but I hadn't tried one of these controllers. I'll have to do a quick test the next time I go flying on my own....

Apparently the design of 9V alkaline batteries has changed fairly recently and they only deliver about 1/2 of the current that they used to.

And I bet the manufacturers did not let anyone know expressly.
You either have to look for it in fine print specs or measure it yourself. I absolutely DESPISE product downgrades without express disclosure. If I did that to my customer it would be a serious "career limiter".
