F. For the booster stage the motor is
inserted so the motor extends out the back
3/8" (0.9 cm) and then held in place by wrap-
ping tape around the perimeter of the motor
and the tube.
G. The two stages are joined together by
inserting the upper stage motor (the portion
that sticks out) into the front of the booster
stage.
H. 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 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).
6. Insert the safety key to arm the launch
system. The light (or buzzer) on the control-
ler 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.
