My last flight for the day. Tried 3 times to get this one in the air but no luckYell. Burned up 3 more of the New clear tipped Estes Starters. God I hate these things. I'm having between 75-80% failure rate with these damn things. After 3rd starter burn up and motor still didn't light I packed it back in the car. Need to send a nasty letter to Estes.
