FAA Notification on Large Model Rockets

Can I still be an idiot anyway, even though "Dave Grayvis" has me beat by a couple of orders of magnitude?

Please?

Yes, and your point is?

I'm sorry, your post suggested you knew something about air traffic. That far from destination aircraft are not at low altitudes, there's lots of room for rockets.

He assumed facts not in evidence.

That statement is reinforced also by 40 years of experience.

Have you ever been to Lucerne? Are you familiar with the local air traffic patterns?

jerry suggested flights up to 200,000 feet. What altitudes do you fly your plane at?

Planes fly (horizontally) over Lucerne between 1000 and 28000 feet.

Any (vertical) airspace user operating on VFR could also use that same airspace with FAA consent. An instrumented pilot can fly a "RPV" as well.

Nope.

If local air traffic patterns are the concern why did you bring up ONT and LAX?

I tend to fly my plane at one to two thousand feet above the ground, but my plane is a 1946 Aeronca 7AC without a radio or a transponder. Aircraft like mine don't go into LAX or ONT, and aircraft that are going to LAX or ONT ain't gonna be one to two thousand feet above the ground in the vicinity of Lucerne.

Dave, you can't debate, using logic, with an individual who likes to play the game "Stump the Dummy" and another who "takes liberties with the truth"..

Like someone who says "I'll make sure DOT lodges your request"?

For example.

I don't believe I ever said WHERE it was. It was NOT at the "traditional" Danville site by the prison. They DID use the same motel!

C'mon, everybody knows the altitude restritions there...

Why do you think Space Ship One had to go so high???
