These motors are good to 1/2 the model rocket liftoff mass limit. They have 1/2 the model rocket propellant mass limit. [Trip Barber rule. Blue ribbon committee. 1984]

Suggestion from the people at Jerry. Align the FAA 125g limit to the DOT and the NAR and the NFPA limits.

Or better, make the ATF no limit under a certain (1 meter per second) burning rate be exempt under ATF, plus now DOT and USPS. Safety and liberty saved, and no adverse impact.

Well, except to the credit card of the user! GDP Growth and tax revenue increase. . . .

I want to buy a 125g FAA exempt motor in hobby stores. I want to put it in an airframe that limits altitude to football fields most of the time, to a mile most of the time and whatever in a minimal mass rocket. Damage control.

Model rocketry. Zero death rate. >800m launchings and under 5 serious injuries and that includes climbing trees to recover them! Model rocketry is as safe as safe can be defined in human existence.

Bow and pray: GH Stine, Orville, Vern, etc. No, really.
