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

during calm weather with very little or no

wind and good visibility.

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 each 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).

system. The light (or buzzer) on the control-

ler should come on.

launch controller and wait 60 seconds before approaching the rocket. Re-

move 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.
