PRE-LAUNCH CHECK

For safety, never launch a damaged rocket. Check the rocket's body, nose cone and fins.

Also, check the engine mount, recovery system and launch lug(s). Repair any damage

before launching the rocket.

FLYING YOUR ROCKET

Choose a large field (250 ft. [76 m] square) free of dry weeds and brown grass. The larger

the launch area, the better your chance of recovering your rocket. Football fields and

playgrounds are great. Launch only with little or no wind and good visibility.

Always follow the National Association of Rocketry (NAR) SAFETY CODE.

MISFIRES

TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE CONTROLLER. WAIT ONE MINUTE BEFORE GOING

NEAR THE ROCKET! Disconnect the igniter clips and remove the engine. Take the plug

and igniter out of the engine. If the igniter has burned, it worked but did not ignite the engine

because it was not touching the propellant inside the engine. Put a new igniter all the way

inside the engine without bending it. Push the plug in place. Repeat the steps under

Countdown and Launch.

D. Drop in igniter as shown.

IMPORTANT: Before each launch,

check that the launch rod is smooth

and straight - especially at the joint.

Use sandpaper or steel wool to

smooth joint and remove engine

residue from rod. Gently straighten

rod if bent.

NOTE: Please reference

the Mini Launch Pad &

Electron Beam® Launch

Controller instructions

included with this kit to

properly assemble the

launch pad and operate

the controller.
