Engine Selection and Installation

The SkyMetra rocket uses standard 18mm diameter rocket engines, ranging from A to C-size. Select an engine appropriate for your desired flight performance and launch area. Ensure the engine is securely installed according to the engine manufacturer's instructions and the rocket kit's guidelines.

اڳي لانچ واري چڪاس

• پڪ ڪريو ته سڀئي اجزاء محفوظ طور تي ڳنڍيل آهن.
• Ensure recovery system (parachute/streamer) is properly packed.
• Check igniter installation and continuity.
• Confirm launch site is clear and safe for flight.
• مناسب s کي يقيني بڻائيtaging mechanism is set for two-stagاي پرواز.

Launch Procedure

Place the rocket on a stable launch pad. Connect the igniter to the launch controller. Ensure all spectators are at a safe distance. Initiate launch sequence. The bottom stage will ignite and propel the rocket approximately 50 feet into the air before separating. The top stage will then ignite, continuing the ascent. This "pop-and-go" staging provides significant acceleration and altitude.

سار سنڀال

After each flight, inspect your SkyMetra rocket for any damage. Check fin attachments, body tube integrity, and nose cone fit. Ensure the recovery system is free of tears or tangles. Clean any residue from the engine mount area. Store the rocket in a dry, cool place to prevent material degradation.

مشڪلاتون

• Rocket does not launch: Check igniter connection, ensure launch controller battery is charged, and verify engine is properly seated.
• غير مستحڪم پرواز: Re-check fin alignment and attachment. Ensure nose cone is securely attached. Verify correct engine selection for the rocket's weight.
• Recovery system failure: Ensure recovery wadding is properly inserted to protect the parachute/streamer from ejection charge. Check elastic shock cord for damage.
• Staging failure: Ensure the upper stage engine igniter is correctly positioned and the staging mechanism is free of obstructions.
