If it turns out Jerry is right and we use this PAD exemption does that
only effect the commerce of APCP? Do we still have to store APCP since
it is on the explosives list?

Let it be concluded:
Jerry Irvine is not a legitimate High Power Rocket Motor Manufacturer.
He is not a legitimate rocket motor dealer.
He is not being singled out by NAR and TRA because of a personal vendetta, but because his

What ruling is being discussed? Is it a TRA/NAR interpretation or is
there something more official from the court coming down?
Serious questions. I'd like to see all APCP exempted.

I would like to start a new post based on a post made by a "Beatle man" who
claims this hobby is dead or dieing. While I respect the mans( I assume it
to be a male no offense if otherwise) right to his opinion. He also said it
was boring and too expensive and chooses another hobby ...

Say I want to put a GPS tracker inside my rocket so I can locate it if it

As a long time troll (BMF, SCE Switch to Aux, etc) let me be one of
the first to say that Jerry nailed this PAD exemption. All along he
has stated they were PADS and for now it looks like they will be.
Don't throw away that LEUP however. It may very well be needed.

Pre-Orders are now open for the Essence Aerospace Technologies (EAT) Triatomic.

I note that according to the BlackSky website at www.blacksky.com, they are still
stipulating (as they have since last year) that ProXX motors will not be shipped
"without a valid LEUP on file"... what's up with that, after the court ruling and
all?

Hi again Folks:
In my post titled "HSA vs. Rocketry: A Saving Plan?", I referred to motors
manufactured to a highly accurate total impulse as "mil.-spec.". Since
