Bob, I like your proposal and I don't really understand the objection. I can understand prohibiting OOP motors for competition as an issue of fairness to all competitors. But why the continued objection for sport flying? |

A brief update on my own situation:
At the OPROC launch today I flew an A3-4T with a date code of 5/30/75. It worked perfectly! There is some discoloring of the motor case about where the upper end of the propellant would be, though. I have the other three motors from that package (which was unopened from by prior rocketeer days and unearthed this past January) and I think I'll use them when the opportunity strikes. They had always been stored indoors in a heated area except when living in the back of my car the last few weeks. I bring the box with the motors in it indoors if the low is predicted to go below about 40 degrees F. That's not a problem at this time of the year..... |

That's the problem though. YOU know they were stored well, but can everyone guaranty that? My CATO picks are from an old engine that was not stored properly by someone who said they were.
