Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my igniter burns out but doesn't launch the engine?

This means the igniter was not touching the propellant inside the engine. Put a new, whole igniter fully inside the engine without bending it.

Where is the safest place to launch my model rocket?

Choose a large field (500 sq ft / 152 m) free of dry weeds and brown grass. The larger the area, the better for recovery.

What is required before mounting the engine sections?

First, apply plastic cement. Slide the front engine ring into the engine mount tube, aligning it with the long notch, then attach the remaining overtube using cement.

Are there any special safety precautions during pre-launch?

Always follow the NAR Safety Code; never launch a damaged rocket, and ensure good visibility and little to no wind.
