Hmmm. It appears that the first link may have bandwidth issues. If you're having trouble accessing it, perseverence should eventually get you through to the site, and it's worth the effort.

And believe me, it's worth it!

The general NAR competition rule is something like, "A launcher must not impart any velocity or change of momentum except that caused by the medle rocket engine(s) contained in the model." You can look up the exact rule yourself. However, you might be a ble to get away with it in R&D.

ahh so this rule is a general rule ie applying to all events ?
then it would make sense although I really think some of these rules should be omitted for non performance events.
I also think ANY safety certified motor should be permitted for non performance based events like R&D and Scale (except scale altitude since its performance based)
that has got to be one of the sadest things I have ever seen happen to a model.

Isn't there also a rule that says an RSO can waive a rule or the CB director at NAR can? I seem to recall making an application to CB Bundick for 40/40 sport scale (minimum 40ns) which he summarily rejected of course. He also refused to let me run two open contests concurrently, which was within the rules. BTW.

Jerry was talking about NAR rules, not AMA.

5.5 The Paul Hans rule.

That's the rule. 5.5.
Yes, in R&D you can not only get away with violating pink book rules, but even the safety code!

I agree with this change. For example it would allow the F21 in PMC or SCALE.

Many years ago here was a rule that allowed special rules ONLY AT NARAM. Of all the places to allow this NARAM was the worst possible choice. The few times it was done, it was really screwed up.
Contest directors can not impose additional rules, such as no composite motors, or minimum power class on any event. If you wnat NAR points, you have to follow NAR rules. What you do for fun events is up to you.

That doesn't explain why you cannot run two open meets in one day. This because the average participant travel time was 6 hours. Average!
According to the AMA National Model Rocket Safety Code

Well you coudl still high start, pull up, and then fire the motor. Like John Kallend does with his Ladyhawk second motor.

Oh, man...what went wrong?

Cool...

No idea what went wrong but I did download the whole thing(27mg) prior to any troubles. It's about 8 minutes long. Be great if I could email it....
