5. Preparation for Launch

Proper preparation is key to a successful and safe launch. Ensure you have all necessary components and follow these steps:

Калыбына келтирүү Wadding

Recovery wadding is inserted into the body of the rocket to protect the parachute from damage during the ejection phase. Always use new wadding before each flight to ensure proper parachute deployment and recovery.

Launch Pad

The launch pad guides your rocket off the ground to ensure it flies straight and also protects the ground from the heat of the engine. Ensure the launch pad is set up on a flat, open area, away from obstacles.

Controllerди ишке киргизүү

The launch controller provides the electrical current to ignite the engine from a safe distance. Connect the clips from the lead cable to each of the wires on the starter, which is inserted into the engine.

6. Launching

Once your rocket is prepared and all safety precautions are in place, you are ready to launch:

1. Ensure everyone stands back at least 15 feet from the launch pad.

Observe the launch and flight path. The Neon Tiger's unique design allows the detachable glider to separate at apogee (peak altitude) for its own smooth glide back to Earth.

7. Калыбына келтирүү

The Estes Neon Tiger features a dual recovery system:

• The scoop-shaped, tiger-striped ring glider falls away at apogee and glides smoothly back to Earth for a gentle landing. You can trim the glider's curved airfoil for longer, more stable flights with slight adjustments to the card stock 'scoop'.
• The host rocket, meanwhile, floats gently home on its own 15-inch parachute to complete the amazing dual recovery.

Both the Neon Tiger rocket and glider can be recovered, reattached to the host rocket, and prepped for new flights repeatedly.
