during calm weather with very little or no

wind and good visibility.

9. Slide the launch lugs over the launch

rod to place the rocket on the pad. The

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.
