Exactly what does the PRK do and what do they charge for their "approval" on rocket motors. IIRC TVM once told us what it would cost to get apporval for his 10mm motors, and it was an absurd amount up front, plus an annual payment.

One solution is to fly on federal land. Even though located within a state, federal land is NOT part of that state, and not subject to that states regulations. This may also be true for things like indian reservations.

ROTFL!

"it's the government..."

Any bets the failure of the J350 was caused by incompetent assembly or use by the JBGTs?

Any truth to the rumor that the JBGTs being in possession of a bunch of G80s was the real reason for the increase in the threat level this week :-)

Didn't realise they need casings to go with them?

Faxed Friday afternoon, with a delivery demand of Tuesday? I'm surprised they had these in stock. Every one else has been waiting for delivery for months.

Per the law referenced, I'd have demanded a letter signed by the Attorney General himself, as the law clearly states. And payment in advance.

Good point. Even under the stupid proposed NPRM regs, a G80 is NOT an explosive.

Do? Ask the vendor to supply them with a photo of it (they're too lazy to do it themselves).

Charge? HPR $9000 a year, MR $500 a year extra.

$500 up front $50 per type per year $500 renewal annually

I offered to pay it for him but it was more the principal with him. I concur. The motors found their way in "somehow".

That may sound like a silly statement, but it is not. It is literal.

One of the requests was to state the price and offer a web or catalog reference of "fair market value". Does Gary have a "government" price list, of say 10x normal price? If not he should publish one right away.

Fair is fair.

No, I think Ellis-made G35's are more of a threat. :-)

So they violated the law there too?

I remember having a G125 cato on me and talking to Gary R. (some months later, out on Black Rock) about it... his comment was "yeah, that's a slightly temperamental motor - I could make 'em as reliable as what I sell to the army, but I'd have to charge what I charge the army for 'em."

The cost differential is 50 cents per motor and the price differential is >300%.

That was one of Kramer's schemes on "Seinfeld".

LOL! Yes, I'd say that qualifies as a threat to national security. ;)

Just claiming "national security" does not circumvent the Constitution.I still believe if one does not want to do business with a particular customer,a private company CAN refuse. Of course I realize there may be negative consequences. (like the IRS coming down hard on your butt,for starters)

I recall when the US military ordered some Escort radar detectors from Cincinnati Microwave and demanded the packaging meet Mil-Spec,and the company refused;told them if they want detectors,they will get them in the standard commercial packaging. The gov't went ahead with the order with commercuial packaging.(and mounted them on F-4s for a cheapo radar warning system for ACM training.)
