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! 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.
