Step 7 – Flying Your Model

Attach the end of the shock cord and the 

parachute to the forward eyebolt.  You can 

also attach the chute protector to the shock 

cord just below the eyebolt.   When packing 

your chute, wrap the chute protector around 

the chute with the opening in the chute 

protector facing forward.  Always make 

sure your chute is well protected as the hot 

ejection motor gasses will melt the nylon 

chute.

IMPORTANT: always use positive motor 

retention to secure the motor in the motor 

tube.  Failure to use motor retention may 

allow the motor to be ejected during the 

ejection charge instead of the parachute, 

making for a dangerous ballistic reentry.

IMPORTANT:  always remember to check 

your balance point and ensure your 

rocket balances at or forward of the 

recommended CG point.

IMPORTANT: Always follow the NAR safety 

code and remember that rockets are not 

toys and can be dangerous if not prepared 

and used properly.  If you are a beginner, 

it is a good idea to fly with a club or other 

group of experienced rocketeers until you 

have gained some experience.
