Membership Growth
Just got the monthly newsletter from the National Rocketry Association. They mention "Of note, the fastest growing age group in our membership is 18-25 year old" pretty impressive IMO. I wonder just where the growth is ( if any) we have in the AMA?

It does not surprise me. Rockets are fun, cool, use a lot of complex technology and materials, go boom, and both NAR and Tripoli got their acts together many years go with dealing with the government and education all while the AMA was building their own theme park.

PLEASE PLEASE !!
DO NOT ALLOW RC controls that make the rockets surfaces into guided missiles...... The Danger is unreal if the controls jam & it flies HOROZONTIAL !!!!
Rockets are so simple and fun.
Is there still the National Big Boys Rocket competition ?
Ground control this is flight 222. A missile Just wizzed by. Good old days for unlimited class.

Both represent HOBBYIST. Both answer to the FAA and work with them. Both operate in airspace under the FAA rules. Bot have paying members. So there's more than a number of reasons to compare them. Your argument is flawed that's the only "nonsense".

It matters not. What matters is that they operate in the airspace the FAA controls and they are both regulated by the FAA. Another weak attempt at deflection on your part.

It was you that introduced a different topic - wrongly linking operations of amateur rockets to operations of free flight sUAS.
