Cheapskate Rocket motors

Illegal aliens are actually GOOD for the economy.

Less efficient is not the point. The law defines a pyrotechnic as containing an oxidizer and a fuel. Ever notice how many food and industrial products are pyro under those terms?

Jerry

Bad law is commmon law.

I think Jerry may be confusing the fact that sucrose contains oxygen. That doesn't make it an oxidizer. Caramel is partially-pyrolized carbohydrate, so it's the sugar dimer, with some of the H and O driven off as water.

When amateur propellant makers talk about "rocket candy", they're generally talking about a KNO3+{Sucrose,Dextrose,Sorbitol} propellant made by melt processing, in a ratio near 60:40 KNO3:Sugar. Definitely not edible, and mildly toxic.

I would assume that the guy doing the "Cheapskate" motors has the necessary manufacturing licenses in the PRK, since that's where he's located.

I don't suppose that you've ever been involved in a car accident with one then? I have, and it wasn't good for the economy as far as I'm concerned.

nasty bugs that

Florida has just as big an agriculture industry. It doesn't have Customs at the border. (Not talking Maxico here.)

California has a far bigger IMPORT business and is also the main PORT for goods heading south and east from USA.

I believe that this means Sensodyne toothpaste is legally a pyrotechnic.

Ad Astra! Bill Sullivan

You may very well be right.

I wonder if they ship it an an explosive :)

Jerry

I think it would fall under the exemption for binary mixtures that aren't explosive until combined by the end user.

(Will purchasers of that brand now need an LEMP in order to brush their teeth with it?)

Well, you want to stop when entering Florida to get the free orange juice. (Do they still do that?) I have not driven into California. I've flown in a few times, and I did drive to Seatle Washington once (NARAM 14).

Again, it's a PRK vs the other 49 states deal here...

I looked at it and it allows a complete novice to fire a large model rocket with "G" power without a club and without the extra power of motor certification. I did not see it allowing a novice to fire an "H" motor.

Like Rock Hudson or Ronald Reagan?

I remember the last time NARAM was in Florida: NARAM-24 The OJ SUCKED. They must ship all the good stuff out of state.

Went through Canada on the way back from NARAM-43. The only thing I recall the mounties asking was if we had any guns. [No] On the way back north of Detroit, the US wanted to know what we bought. [Nothing other than the food we ate].

I've been harassed MUCH more in airports and government buildings, even before 9/11.
