I ordered a dual controller (8 pads) yesterday to try out on my rack launcher. You can get whatever configuration you want on eBay from a USA seller, or get it even cheaper if you eliminate the middle man and get it straight from China/Hong Kong.

I don't want to buy "starters" to use with it because that's another additional cost for schools.

Can a single controller with 18650 LiPo cells do 50 solar igniter launches without a recharge?

What's the best price you've seen on the LiPos? For a dual controller I'd need 8 cells, and IIRC they were running $5-10 per cell last time I looked, which has been a while.
