Preflight Preparation 


Once your rocket is complete, follow this simple sequence to ready it for flight: 



1. Insert recovery wadding (refer to the instructions for the correct amount). 
2. Fold and insert the recovery device. 
3. Install igniter. 
4. Insert igniter plug*. 
5. Insert engine into mount. 

*Here's how to use Estes' igniter plug  technology. 

Estes brightly colored reusable igniter plugs have virtually eliminated the frustrations and misfires common to other igniter systems. 


*Igniter Plugs - U.S. Patent Nr. 5,410,966
