MODEL ROCKETRY HONOUR

Which one is a safety rule for model rocketry?

• Aim rockets directly at spectators for fun.
• Launch rockets in an open area away from people and flammable materials.
• Launch rockets indoors for better control.
• Use any available materials for rocket construction.

What is the engine in the model rocket used for?

• To provide thrust for propulsion.
• To measure altitude during launch.
• To stabilize the rocket's trajectory.
• To cool the rocket during flight.
