## Questions & Answers

**Q: In addition to this kit, what else do I need to purchase in order to launch?**
A: Engines (A8-3 (First Flight), B4-4, B6-4, C6-5, C6-7.)  Note:  C engines will really take it up there, so consider the wind.

Ignitors (4 usually come with a 3 pack of engines along with plugs to hold the ignitors in.  When I was a kid, we had to use tape for that.  The plugs are nice.

Recovery wadding (some engine packs come with wadding, but I wouldn't rely on that.  Also, the wadding doesn't seem as good as the stuff that comes in its own bag.)

Ours required 4 - AA batteries.

**Q: Does this set come with the Porta-Pad II launch pad?**
A: Ours did.

**Q: What controller comes with this rocketry set?**
A: Ours came with the red Electron Beam Controller.

**Q: Does this come with red launch pad with lightning bolts, or orange launch pad?**
A: Ours came with the red.

Many successful launches.  Just be sure to hod the key button down to keep the light on before pushing the launch button.  Always fires within about a second or so.
