the area and it will be paid by State of Calif. funding.
This night at the RCSD meeting at the pulbic part, I got up and asked them

My son got an Estes rocket as a gift.  We put it together last weekend and
would like to launch today but last night I noticed we are missing the plugs
that hold the igniter to the engine.  They were there at one time, I looked
and looked but can not find them.  The question is ...

Sorry in advance for the long post.
I'm going to try for a LEUP with an indoor storage waiver. I live in a
typical NJ neighborhood with less than ½ acre of land.  I can't have

I have just recieved an application to get a LEUP.  I live in CA, if that
makes any difference to the question I am asking.  Here is the question...

inspectors comming to my house for periodic inspections?

I've been using the West Systems fast epoxy kit and I have been very
happy with the results. Pumps, exact mixing ratio, less mess.
But Giant Laep contends AeroPoxy mixed 1 to 1 is better and cheaper.

Is my understanding correct that in order to obtain/possess e-matches (such
as Davyfires, Oxrals, M-TEK's, etc.) that you must have a LEUP?  If so, what
