1. Hold your Estes engine upside down (as shown).
2. Insert the starter into the engine’s nozzle. The tip of the starter will be resting against the engine’s propellant. It’s important that the tip stays in contact with the propellant for initiation.
a. Do NOT bend the starter; this could cause the starter tip to pull away from the engine’s propellant.
3. Continue to hold the engine upside down when inserting the engine plug. (The insertion of the plug will bend the starter wires a minimal amount, but it should not pull the starter tip away from the propellant.)
4. Once the plug is holding the starter firmly in place, bend the starter wires away from each other (as shown). It is important that the starter wires do not touch each other—either above or below the tape—to avoid a short circuit.
5. Install the engine into your model rocket according to your model rocket’s instructions.
