Connect the controller at the launch site only when ready to launch. 2. Insert the safety key only when all people are at least 30 ft. away from a flight-ready rocket. 3. Press the launch button to send your rocket skyward. Always follow the NAR model-rocket safety code during rocket kit operations. P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Safety Warning No Warning Applicable See more

Review: If your controller doesn't work try trimming about 30% (and up to 50%) off the rubber stopper on the key. The key can then be inserted that much further to make its connection. I had to do this to what was an very dead controller and now works a treat.
Review: Very well made, good quality product.
