Maybe, but based on observations of their skills so far perhaps we should encourage them to simply refrain.
Which might be a "bad thing-tm".
Maybe the treaty should be amended to allow a phone call, "hey you're doing something stupid."

I've seen the same thing more than once due to fireworks landing on a house with lots of straw on the roof.
Get real. There very few TRA launches where there is absolutely no possibility of damage. All the people I know flying hpr do it from sod farms or the like and there are always buildings on site or neighbors homes close by.
see above
We're not reading the same rmr.
BTW, do you really believe there's more danger from an Estes Alpha III, than a scratch built 6", 40 pound M motor rocket? COME ON!
There is no reason why 1/2 A - X motors can't be safe and flown at the same launches. There is also no reason to try to drive wedges between groups that should be working together for the benefit of all rocketeers everywhere.
Our club flies everything from mini motors through M and does EX to boot. Everyone in the club is working to promote the ENTIRE hobby and I have never seen or heard the animosity between flyers there, that I read here, i.e. TRA vs. NAR. I suspect the reality is that the vast majority of flyers want to do just that, fly, not point fingers or bash each other.
There are so many caustic statements on rmr about NAR this or TRA that and ALL of it is counter productive to what everyone here says they want. We're on the same team and many people here need to realize it.

Excellent point!

Another good point, is that it works both ways. ; )
Randy
Ray and Jerry agree on somthing?!?!?!?!
Good grief! Now we've got Ray and Bob agreeing on something.
Who is this lunarlos bozo anyway?
Shit happens!
Maybe this is all just a really clever way to achieve unity. ;)

I'll weigh in on Chuck's side in this one. The "needles" scare me. Minimum diameter bullets that flat haul ass, disappear, then...the wait. Where did it go? Did it deploy? Should I crawl under the truck? Is my daughter about to sprout a rocket from her head?
