Say what now...
Rockets?
I beleive we could freshen up on the subject, about NAR, Tripoly, & AC91-57
this thread: [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=6467655]Extra-AMA Modeling [/link], a quick 2pager with citations of NAR & Tripoly rocket rules.
If you are really wondering about AC91-57 applying to RC Flight over 400' (as RocketGlider)
how are they any different than all the Sport40 glow planed doing it?
Rockets weighing less than one pound and flying on less than 4 ounces of propellant, FAR 101 rockets, do not require notification of the FAA. Large Model Rockets, weighing between 1 and 3.3 lbs and flying on not more than 4.4 ounces of propellant, while not requiring a waiver from the FAA, require a phone call to the nearest FAA tower or airport for notification of the planned activity.
Under 1lb & 4oz no calls to nobody.
Over that and you gotta call the NEAREST, that is not just if you are within 3miles.
I guess that's just how the Rocketeers roll.
Crazy things happen when you try to play both cards: Loose Rocket rules but call it a Model Plane to allow RC guidance.
