Disclaimers, Legal Stuff, Etc.
The Eggtimer Quark is meant to be used for hobby and experimental rocketry purposes.
Although hobby rocketry has an admirable safety record, largely due to the efforts of the good
people at the National Association of Rocketry (NAR) and the Tripoli Rocketry Association
(TRA), rocketry can be dangerous if proper safety precautions are not observed. This is
particularly true with some of the advanced techniques like pyrotechnic parachute deployment
and airstarting motors. People can and have been seriously injured by not following
recognized and accepted safety practices. We cannot be responsible for your actions.
We strongly recommend that if you are not a member of either the NAR or the TRA, you join
one of them, join a local rocketry club, and pick the brains of experienced members before you
try any kind of electronic deployment or airstart flight. The safety information included in
these instructions is by no means comprehensive or complete, and is no substitute for the
supervision and advice of experienced rocketeers.
Limited Warranty
Eggtimer Rocketry warrants that all of the parts on the packing list of this Eggtimer Rocketry
kit have been included, and that they are all in working condition. If you are missing
something, contact us immediately at
support@EggtimerRocketry.com
and we will send you
whatever it is that you are missing. If you are missing something really egregious (like the PC
board or the processor, for example), we may ask you to return the entire kit unbuilt, we will
send you a prepaid shipping label for this purpose. We'd especially like to see the packing list
so we can figure out what went wrong so it doesn't happen again...
If your Eggtimer Quark does not work properly after assembly, take a deep breath, get out the
magnifying glass and a good light, and see if you have inadvertently created a solder bridge
somewhere. Chances are pretty good that you have, or that you have installed a part
incorrectly. We are a very small company and we just don't have the resources to repair your
board, but we will be more than happy to give you advice and we might be able to help you
find your error if you send us some high resolution pictures, to
support@EggtimerRocketry.com
. We cannot take responsibility for your assembly
techniques; if you do not have experience building kits of this nature, we recommend that you
enlist some help. (Another reason for joining a rocketry club, there is usually at least one
electronically-inclined member who can be bribed with a beverage or two to give you a hand.
Engineering types love a challenge, especially if it's easy for them but hard for you.)
Eggtimer Rocketry warrants that when properly assembled this Eggtimer Rocketry product will
perform substantially according to the published documentation. This means that we spent a
lot of time trying to ensure that it's going to work the way that we say it does, and we try to fix
things that don't quite work right in a reasonable time. Nevertheless, we can not and do not
warrant that this product is perfect and will meet every rocketry purpose, for the simple reason
that we can't test every possible rocket/motor/environmental combination. It is the buyer's
responsibility to determine the suitability of the Eggtimer Quark for their particular purpose. If
you have a problem with this, please contact us and we will be happy to send you a prepaid
return label for your unbuilt kit and we will refund the purchase price on receipt of your kit.
