Could you bring yourself to destroy a 21 foot long X-wing replica?

ErikRuud:
I don't think the FCC care what size object you launch.   ;D

They do care what frequency you use to control it though.

Model Rockets use 1/4A through G engines

Thee FAA only cares if you launch them where they might interfere with aircraft.

High Power Rocketry uses engines size above G.

You have to have an FFA waiver to fly these and posiibly a BATF Low Explosives User Permit

Find me the metal in your average (OK, I realize this one was above average) model rocket.

The little clip that holds the engine in.  Period.

The rest is wood, cardboard, and plastic.  Even the engine nozzle is made of clay that will shatter if the engine explodes.

Wait'll little Johnny gets hit with a chunk of metal from space instead of slowly falling splinters...

Eff Chad.  He stabbed little Johnny.

actually, now i think about it i just realised why they made it from ply etc. its actually illegal for amateur rickets to be made from metal...

it isnt amatuer if they are professionals.  worst case scenario is the cops call in a star destroyer or something.

im sure boes will correct me, but im pretty sure if you arent military, or NASA, you are amateur...
