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.
