I'm thinking I should. This is the first 80 ounce rocket I've launched... and to my chagrin, I didn't think about the weight limit. I could apply for an FAA waver, but I'd rather just take her to Bong.

That brings up another question I have. When the regulation says that you must have 5 MILES of horizontal visual clearance for Class 2 birds, does that mean 5 miles of GROUND horizontal clearance (impossible for a significant percentage of the country), or just-above-horizon visibility (i.e., the sky just above horizon for the sake of lower flying aircraft)?
