COUNTDOWN AND LAUNCH

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. Football fields and

playgrounds are great. Launch only with little or no wind and good visibility.

Always follow the National Association of Rocketry (NAR) SAFETY CODE.

MISFIRES

TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE CONTROLLER. WAIT ONE MINUTE BEFORE GOING

NEAR THE ROCKET! Take the plug and igniter out of the engine. If the igniter has burned,

it worked but did not ignite the engine because it was not touching the propellant inside

the engine. Put a new igniter all the way inside the engine without bending it. Push the

plug in place. Repeat the steps under Countdown and Launch.

NAR Safety Code

NO DRY

GRASS

OR WEEDS
