I see where Ellis Mountain has come out with (yet to be certified) awhole series of single use motors. Has this anything to do with theruling for the fully assembled PADS? Also where is the ATF on it's correcting the wording that allowed theSU motors? Their time line was for May. Ken

Alas, the NAR and TRA see that ruling one way (ALL fully assembled rocket motors are exempt as PADs) and the BATFE sees it another way. (the exemption is limited to motors with less than 62.5 grams of propellant).The BATFE did state in their November status filing with the court that they expected this to be published this month. They also had a lot of weasel words about how since they were new to the Department of Justice they had no idea how long the internal review process would take.I check the table of contents of the Federal Register on a regular basis (I signed up to have it E-mailed to me.) and the PAD item has not yet appeared.

Legal Pads yet?

Wonder what stamp Jerry had on the motors shipped and packaged-marked as "model airplane parts"?? (;-)

CSFM classified it.

You can't put them on motors that haven't been CSFM classified.

Better yet, ask the CSFM why they issued an HPR classification for a MR motor.

"Wrong. The definition of HP is controlling. 160ns+. "

Just for the hell of it, I was perusing the CSFM codes. Seems that every reference to these rules in their current dowloads has been struck through. Can you cite where there is a rule still clearly stating this?
