I saw it on TRF, questioned it, and got no answer other than "it's not actually". I just saw it again on the DARS site.
Where do people get the idea that guidance is forbidden in model/HPR rockets? Even if they don't know about the sun-following bird from a NARAM R&D project, you'd think they'd catch on seeing R/C boost gliders.
Who started this and where can I go to spank them for it?
I think it is a bastardized reference to the passage in the NAR MR Safety Code:
"Flight Safety. I will not launch my rocket at targets, into clouds, or near airplanes, and will not put any flammable or explosive payload in my rocket. "
There was a rule once. I have not seen it for a while so somebody must have killed it. You might check NFPA-1127 for it.
You would think with all the rule changes, NAR/TRA would kill all references to ATF and reduce offset distances to blast radiuses.
