Step 6 – Flying Your Model
Attach the end of the shock cord and the parachute to the nose cone. You can
also attach the chute protector to the shock cord just below the nose cone.
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.
Failure to use motor retention will cause the motor to be ejected instead
of the parachute making for a dangerous ballistic reentry.
IMPORTANT: always remember to check your balance point and ensure
your CG is forward of the specified 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.
