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! Disconnect the igniter clips and remove 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.

NOTE: So that you
don't loose sight of
your glider or
engine pod, it's a
good idea to have
another person
observe the
launch and
recovery, as the
glider and engine
pod descend
separately.
