Oh my something new?? "big fine" taught motor classes?? I bet that was a
hoot..
Once again, "big fine" is shown to be taking liberties with the truth..

A motor not compliant with ANY aspect of the definition of a MR this
permit does not apply to. Certification pops to mind.
A motor not compliant with ANY aspect of the definition of a HPR this
permit does not apply to. Certification pops to mind.
Further this was $9000 until recently and at the time in question (a
decade ago now) which is why those activities did not occur in CA even
when there were certified HPR motors. They were 49 state motors.
As long as I can recall there have been two layers of rocketry activity
in CA.
"Consumer"ie NAR certified (ROC launches for example), and Amateur
(Kosdon launches, RRS, etc). There are essentially NO restrictions at
amateur launches. Just as there are no restrictions in the other 49
states.
However you do NOT see HPR motors at retail in CA anyway since the USER
also needs a permit (bad rule). The only jurisdiction where that is the
case.
So anyone buying HPR motors at NAR/TRA launches in CA are most likely in
violation of state law.
Care to open THAT can of worms?
I don't.
So much so Kosdon could not afford it despite actively doing business,
Aerotech could not afford it after Scott Bartel paid it the very first
time and got AT HPR motors listed by CSFM. So even AT was non-compliant
a lot of the time.
It requires ANNUAL renewal at $9000 a year (recently reduced to under
$3500) PLUS listing fees for EACH motor type, for ONE state with harsh
restrictions on flying and BUYERS.
Care to open THAT can of worms?
I don't.
Why don't you share with everyone all the work Brian Teeling did in
regard to setting up the "Pomona facility" for Powertech in order to get
permits in the name of the partnership Brian Teeling was equal partner
in?
There was no "Pomona facility", so how could it have permits?
And since we're on the topic of Powertech, when do you intend on paying
the fraud judgment against you?
the national organizations remain "wrong" on several levels, the points
of which have been discussed ad naseum
one's failure to grasp that makes further discussion about Jerry's
historical contribution or the merits of his position pointless, as a
adequate frame of reference is demonstrably absent
suffice it to say that "no good deed should go unpunished" still prevails

rocketry:
Any rocket motors that are sold, are by definition _consumer_ rocket
motors, either model or high power.
Yes, as I stated the fees were much higher until recently.
Uh, which activities are you referring to?
activity
Sales make consumers.
A state pyro op license is required. Only a licensed pyro op can load
the rocket. Bunkers are required for spectators, with overhead
protection.
This is verifiably false.
Yes, the user needs a permit, OR they can fly under the supervision of
a permit holder.
I posted all the current fees.
What's that supposed to mean? The regs are what they are.
No. What we call "high power", the state of CA calls "experimental high
power". Amateur rocketry is referred to as "experimental/unlimited".
A pyro-ops "Rockets, Third Class" license is required for high power
flyers. If I remember correctly, you need at least a Second Class
license to mix propellent. All three classes have a $50 annual fee.

Not exactly.
This is a catagory of super model rocket. If ANY of the requirements are
not met the motor does not apply to this class.
Just like the G125 is no longer a model rocket motor.
(Yet another bad NAR rule)
