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 the 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.
NAR Safety Code
NO DRY GRASS
OR WEEDS

NOTE: So that you don’t lose
sight of your Glider or
Power Pod, it’s a good idea
to have another person
observe the launch, as the
Glider and Power Pod
descend separately.
