Age restrictions to fly hobby line RMS motors?

Hi Bruce, RMS motors need to be purchased by those 18 or older.

the CPSC has rules on that.

If you are underage, your parents can purchase and supervise you.

By Federal law, the legal age to purchase any reloadable motor is 18.

I am a senior NAR member with High Power Level 2 certification. I am trying to understand the "law" and the "rules" since we have several under 18 members in our local club that want to fly hobby line RMS motors.

So, they can't purchase the motors but they can assemble and fly with adult supervision? Does it have to be a parent or legal guardian?

Think about any other item that has an age restriction to purchase, but not "use".

Children cannot go and get their own prescriptions filled, but they have prescriptions written for them and handed to their parents or legal guardians. obviously the children will "touch: the prescription medicine, but they generally do not carry the bottle of medicine around with them. Obvious exceptions include asthma inhalers, but for those emergency injections, they are in the possession of school teachers or nurses.

Booze is illegal for children to use - period. Very different from the RMS regulations which only apply to purchasing and safeguarding.

bruce:

I personally allow minors to assemble,use,prep,etc under direct adult supervision on site. This person may not be the parent or legal guardian. We do require written or verbal prior approval from parents or legal guardians for the minor in question to use, assemble,prep,etc As long as there is direct adult supervision in the chain I don't see a problem.

I was told that if only I would stop posting, the content level on rmr would improve dramatically.

They were all wrong.

It actually got worse.

Yep.

Then why did you come back?? Are you planning a relapse?? (:-)

I disagree, Jerry. Of the 274 topics posted to during your blessed absence (incarceration), only 22 have had inane bullshit inflammatory crap spewed at them (Brad Guth). When you were actively posting, 99% percent of the threads on rmr were be-spoiled by your vile hatred of everything "not Jerry" and other successful ventures, companies, businesses, people, organizations and affiliations.

Brad, I lost the little tube of grease that's used to lube the O-rings in my F24-4 RMS reload kit.

What do you recommend as a substitute?

Probably just his tub of KY lube....

Stop it! You're making brad excited, or maybe we should call him "scatman guthers".

ewwww, I'm officially grossed out. Almost as bad as Kosdon in a speedo....almost.

I guess You've never seen Frank bend over to pick up a dropped O ring or such.

Just about anything that allows the O-rings to slide enough to properly seat will work. Vasoline, automotive grease, Slick-50, KY, Brylcream, ear-wax should all work. I'd bet even sunscreen would do.

I have but I am really waiting for Brad's reply.

Bob Kaplow, I suppose if your "just about anything" grease doesn't become near solid when cold or otherwise thin-out or simply react badly when hot, much less burn, then you've got the job of packing each of those O-rings with your proven "just about anything" grease.
