The Alpha III Rocket has the capability of safely launching:

• from inside a building on the floor only.

• from inside a building on a launch pad only.

• from outside a building on the ground only.

• from outside a building on a launch pad only.

If a misfire occurs during the launch cycle:

• wait 60 seconds before approaching the launch pad to check on the rocket.

• remove safety interlock and wait 5 minutes before disengaging the launch system to approach the launch pad.

• wait 30 minutes before removing rocket from launch pad and disconnecting the battery.

• remove safety interlock and wait 10 seconds before approaching the launch pad to check on the rocket.

A launch rod:

• provides a current to the igniter.

• attached to the body of the rocket for the purposes of guiding the model up.

• is a structure that provides a path for the rockets, during launch, by exerting slight pressures upon the fins.

• is used to guide a model rocket in the first moments of ascent.
