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.

and aft body tube. You can also attach the chute protector to the shock cord near the
parachute. 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.
the nose cone. If the CG is behind the desired point, add weight inside the nose cone by
pouring lead shot into the nose cone tip and adding some epoxy. When you are satisfied
with the balance, epoxy the nose cone into the forward section of the forward tube.
