My point is, buying any type of ignitor on-line for example requires a LEUP. Doesn’t really matter if it’s a DaveyFire or not: RE QuickBurst and others. They won’t sell you any ignitor without a permit. As far as storage,…   Read more»

Ken, without proper storage, CAN you buy Daveyfires? Technically, can’t take them home, must be used on site… ? With a LEUP, you can definitely buy any motor your certification allows in Texas… but it must be used on site….   Read more»

Everything we do in life is regulated to some extent, if not entirely. I don’t like the regulation at all for many reasons, but if it is to be regulated, I’m going to be legal. I want to buy a…   Read more»

Cost has nothing to do with it. It’s the invasion of privacy and exposure to government regulation that offends me.Warren

I think there is a real chance that “sponsored flights” will come under scrutiny. It may indeed come to a point where you have to have a LEUP to even handle loads. That is why I originally got mine (I…   Read more»

… Panky 🙂 Mike, getting a LEUP isn’t wrong; it’s a good thing. But getting all the backup equipment NOW probably isn’t wise, until we know what will be required. Ken Plattner is getting his without storage and all materials…   Read more»

Oh-Tay

I’m dragging my feet, too. We’ll have an idea by March, and a definitive answer next July… at least that’s the current timeline.

We’re not going to get closure on this phase of things until at least March if what I’ve read on the Tripoli forum is any indication. I’m not spending a dime on a LEUP or magazine even then as I…   Read more»

Mike,I’d hang onto the $$ and see how things shape up. No way are we all going to pony up 300 or more, nor even if we could, have a situation that would support a Leup in the first space….   Read more»

Type 3 is for carrying the “explosives.” Type 4 (and above–if you have the money and room) is for actual storage in either a detached garage or an attached garage with an hour firewall–hope that’s right; it’s in the L2…   Read more»

Well, in preparation for the 2007 season I’ve static tested about 50K N worth of motors. 🙂 Looks to be a fun year.Edward

Well I figured I would bring an old thread back up… as we are getting closer to MHM how is everyones Research Day projects coming. I have a little touch up work here and there but still have to cast…   Read more»

Yea, Bummer about Nate. Hope he can figure a way to reschedule the exams. And thanks for the additional info, sponge bob sounds like a winner (and remains one of my favorite cartoons of all time.)John SPS: So right that…   Read more»

Mike,It was just a suggestion as the two of you seem to be the pointmen for getting Research adopted.Obviously, you are a free agent and no doubt can pull this off. My own feelings are mixed. I want to see…   Read more»

I am very happy with what we got as far a waiver. I do have a rocket an Ex rocket that sims to 41,000 but that has alway been a Balls project. I am working with Scott on his 75,000…   Read more»

Mike, should be interesting. I plan on keeping my Research activities at MHM pretty mundane, per James’s recmmendations. This is a showcase weekend, and I gotta agree maybe not the best time to push the envelope with any complex rockets,…   Read more»

Con,I’m ecstatic too. Bigger windows would be great, but as it stands we are in better shape than LDRS this year. There is lots of room to do some great stuff,and maybe in time…. The really high stuff is best…   Read more»

As I to agree that I wish we could have more for a higher waiver as I do plan on projects that are going to do some good altitudes myself, we may not get that. Trust me I would love…   Read more»
