That is my kids rocket, the Dancing Noodle of Doom, since we launched it last weekend on a Cessaroni F-30 Long Burn, we called it noodle-roni.

See page 37 of the manual, Figure 3.2b. Basically, you provide + to the "V+" pin (3rd from the left if you're looking at the back of the unit with the pin end up, or on top) and - to the "G" pin (5th from the left if you're looking at the back of the unit with the pin end up, or on top). The board should be labeled. The "+9" pin is the one that uses the onboard switch, Figure 3.2a. Check out the Defy Gravity website if you don't have the documentation:http://defyg.com/control_support.htmlIf you run into them at a launch, you might also see if Kurt G. or Allen F. might be able to help, as they have lots of experience with Control.Mike --- On *Mon, 5/16/11, Ron McGough /<rrmagoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>/* wrote: From: Ron McGough <rrmagoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [roc-chat] Re: Launch Today To: roc-chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, May 16, 2011, 9:19 PM Hey Jeff, If you did like I did, hooked it up and it didn't work, try turning on the power switch. It really makes a difference ;^) But then if you did this then you were just one unlucky purchaser that got a bad one.

As an example Control has 4 chanels, you can use two for dual deploy, one for airstarts and the last for 'chute release with no addtional systems.
