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.

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).

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 ap-
proaching 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 pack-
age and repeat the countdown and launch procedure.
