Precautions
PRE-LAUNGH CHECK For safety never launch a damaged rocket. Check the
rocket’s body, nose cone and fins. Also, check the engine mount recovery
system and launch lug(s).
Repair any damage before launching the rocket.
FLYING YOUR ROCKET Choose a large field (500ft [152 m] square) free of
dry weeds and brown grass. The larger the Launch area, the better your chance
recovering your rocket. Football fields and playgrounds are great Launch only
with little or no wind and good visibility, Always follow lire National
Association or Rocketry SAFETY CODE (enclosed).
MISFIRES TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE CONTROLLER. WAIT ONE MINUTE BEFORE GOING NEAR
THE ROCKET Disconnect the micro-clips and remove the engine. Take the plug and
starter out of the engine. A burned starter means the starter tip was not
trouncing engine propellant. Install a new starter: be sure the tip is
touching propellant inside the engine. Push the plug In place. Repeat steps
under Countdown and Launch.
