Launch Supplies Needed

To Launch your rocket you will need the

following supplies:

•

A model rocket launching system

•

Flame resistant recovery wadding

•

Recommended Rocket Engines: See the

motor matrix to the right.

Rocket Preflight

A. Crumple and insert 4 sheets of recovery

wadding into the body tube.

B. Roll the streamer tightly and insert it into

the tube with the shock cord. Then install the

nose cone into place.

C. Insert the rocket motor into the aft end of

the rocket (see instructions listed previously).

D. Insert and secure the engine igniter as

directed on the package the engines came with.

Countdown and Launch Procedure

Fly your rocket on a large field that isn't near

any power lines, trees, or low flying aircraft.

The larger the field, the greater your chances of

recovering your rocket. The launch area around

the pad must be free of dry weeds and brown

grass. Launch only during calm weather with

very little or no wind and good visibility.

10. Remove the safety key from the launch

controller.

9. Slide the launch lugs over the launch rod to

place the rocket on the pad. The rocket should

slide freely over the rod.

8. Attach the micro-clips to the igniter. The clips

must not touch the other or the metal blast

deflector.

7. Stand back from your rocket as far as the

launch wire allows (at least 5 meters - 15 feet).

6. Insert the safety key to arm the launch

system. The light (or buzzer) on the controller

should come on.

Give a loud countdown 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

LAUNCH!

Push and hold the the button until the engine

ignites. Then remove the safety key and place

the safety cap on the launch rod.

Misfire Procedure

Occasionally the igniter will burn, but the motor will fail to ignite. If this happens, the

cause is that the pyrogen on the igniter was not in contact with the engines propellant.

When an ignition failure occurs, remove the safety key from the launch controller and

wait 60 seconds before approaching the rocket. Remove the old igniter from the engine

and install a new one. Make sure that the igniter is insert fully into the engine and

touches the propellant. Secure the igniter as directed on the engine package and repeat

the countdown and launch procedure.

Always follow the NAR* Model Rocket Safety Code when launching model rockets.
