Good news (for this group only)!
We received our Low Explosives Manufacturer's Permit today from the BATFE! This started last year and was a long, drawn out procedure. We also had to receive zoning approval and Fire Marshall approval before they would process it. Along the way we have met some very sympathetic and helpful AHJ types, including Jennifer Lopez, our local BATFE agent, who is very sympathetic to model rocketry. She understands it better than I had thought she would.
You can not buy industrial grade BP without a LEMP, so this was an important step.
The engine machine is coming along, as we have time to work on it. Fortunately, we have customers that keep buying stuff, so we have to keep re-stocking.! :D
Next is the EX numbers. Since that is a big expenditure, we have been waiting to get the LEMP and prototypes.
This does not mean we will have engines soon, but we are on track and wanted our closest friends to share in our news.
