PRECAUTIONS
PRE-LAUNCH CHECK For safety, never launch a damaged rocket. Check the
rocket’s body, nose cone and ns. 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 (500 ft. [152 m] square) free of
dry weeds and brown grass. The larger the launch area, the better your chance
of recovering your rocket. Launch only with little or no wind and good
visibility. Always follow the National Association of Rocketry (NAR) 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 touching 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.
