ROL NEWS--LDRS 24 Fees Announced

Hmmm... "junior (under 18) flying high power rockets?"

I didn't realize they were allowed to have a category for that!

Just because they don't spell out "under adult supervision"?

You people.

My understanding is that you have to be 18 to be certified level 1/2/3. Tripoli rules require you to be certified to fly high power.

Therefore, if you're under 18, you have to have someone who is certified sign the flight card and actually fly the rocket. The person signing the flight card is the one who has to pay the range fee.

Maybe CAR rules allow under 18 to fly HPR?

It's in Canada. They're allowed to do (almost) whatever they want.

Oh, right, I forgot about that... CAR does have "junior certification".

I think it's a good idea. I'd like to see something similar adopted in the US.

NAR just started their Jr cert program allowing 14 and over to cert L1.....maybe that's what they are looking at.

Dude, it's in canada

check the CAR's junior rules

Yes, they were the model for US youth programs.

A "Limited L1"... They still need adult sponsors until they become legal, as which point they get grandfathered in.. (they don't need to do another L1 flight and paperwork)

Not sure this has passed into "rule", but was only a proposal last I heard...

Things like 1127, which are contained in the NAR regs, prohibit a 14 YO from flying L1 without an adult...

The NAR has adopted a junior HPR participation program.

God save the queen!

Common sense is still legal!

Save this for your personal ads.

Then why don't you go out & get some.

Assuming that the world revolves around you (as you seem to think) why wouldn't it?

Don't flatter yourself.

I'm sure you just a minor diversion, you know, like when you have a slow download or something, a time killer.

you really don't even rank being called a hobby.

you're more of a freak show, than anything else, but I wouldn't pay to see you. That would be a waste of a hard earned nickel.

Still . . .

Your sole purpose in life is to comment on me!

Yours on rmr certainly does. That is observable fact.

When I finish my paper on abnormal psychology, I'll stop. You have to admit, you are an 'interesting' subject.
