Rocket 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.

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