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.

GRASS
OR WEEDS
