FLYING YOUR ROCKET

Choose a large field (250 ft. [76 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! Disconnect the igniter clips and remove

the engine. 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.
