 Safety Code

NO DRY GRASS
OR WEEDS

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 enclosed 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.

COUNTDOWN AND LAUNCH

KEY ALWAYS OUT UNTIL
FINAL COUNTDOWN!
