PRECAUTIONS

PRE-LAUNCH CHECK For safety, never launch a damaged rocket. Check the rocket's body, nose cone and ns. Also, check the engine mount, recovery system and launch lug(s).

Repair any damage before launching the rocket.
FLYING YOUR ROCKET Choose a large eld (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 elds and playgrounds are great. Launch only with little or no wind and good visibility. Always follow the National Association of Rocketry SAFETY CODE (enclosed).

MISFIRES TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE CONTROLLER. WAIT ONE MINUTE BEFORE GOING NEAR THE ROCKET. Disconnect the micro-clips and remove the engine. Take the plug and
starter out of the engine. A burned starter means the starter tip was not touching engine propellant. Install a new starter; be sure the tip is touching propellant inside the engine. Push the
plug in place. Repeat steps under Countdown and Launch.
