freeflight rockets don't have a column, they are model aviation, and require the AMA liscence to operate.
What if one of your neighbors goes out and buys a $1200 aluminum framed, li-poly powered, 3lb death machine, and then takes it to a local flying field, and gets turned away by the club? Now, let's say that since he was turned away, he never got that AMA liscence.
Umm....the AMA doesn't have any authority to "license" anything to operate.
