Launch Pad
Launch control sequence is maintained through the use of an electron beam launch controller and a stable launch pad. The Launch Pad features:
• Large 24" square launch pad for stability
• Steel blast deflector
• Easy set-up and quick takedown for storage
• Easy adjustment for wind directions up to 20 mph
Altitude Finder
Ideal for gathering experimental perfor- mance and altitude data. Simply follow
the flight of your rocket in the sights of this device. When the trigger is released, the maximum altitude is locked in. The finder displays the rocket’s height in meters and the elevation angle in degrees. Upon returning to the laboratory, the measurements can be used to calculate the height of the rocket. Requires plastic cement for assembly—not included.

Rocket Engines
The first letter is the engine’s relative power, the number after the letter is average thrust in newtons, and the number after the hyphen is seconds between the end of thrusting and start of the ejection charge. Engines fire in two directions—at launch and then opposite to eject the streamer or parachute or fire a second stage. Economical Bulk Packs include complete operating instructions, 24 engines, igniters, igniter plugs and recovery wadding.

Selecting Your Rocket’s
Engine
All engines include complete operating instructions. Here’s a guide to help you choose the engines you need:
1. The first letter stands for the relative power of the engine. The ”B“ engine is twice as powerful as the ”A“ engine while the ”C“ engine is twice as powerful as the ”B.“
2. The first number following the letter indicates the engine’s average thrust in newtons.
3. The number after the hyphen is the number of seconds between the end of thrusting and the start of the ejection charge. This double charge occurs because the engines fire in two directions—at launch and then in the opposite direction to eject the streamer or parachute or to fire the second stage of the rocket.
