Sounds like we're all getting "the call". I'll keep my LEUP. I'm with Stu, I want the ATF to know they're wasting their time by inspecting my 3/4 LB of black...
That's ridiculous. Just like you could buy a motor service at a launch you can by an ignitor or ematch service. As long as the devices are used at the site and...
The ATF is like the Terminator. I doesn't care. It doesn't feel. It can't be bargained with. The inspections are chosen by a computer system at random. The...
Sounds to me like another inspector who doesn't have a clue. I've never even heard of an ignitor made with epoxy (I'm sure it can be done just never heard of...
I'm not sure what the final rule will be on igniters and ematches. Black powder is defined as an explosive by an act of Congress. The only exemption is for...

Reread my post. He said he was asked about the status of an igniter made of APCP, magnesium, and epoxy. He said, "I don't know," and asked Washington. ...
Thanks for the feedback but I can't come up with a legitimate reason to keep my LEUP. I agree with you Chad, I refuse to participate in their silliness. David...
Is anyone from the DFW area going to the Hearne launch? I am unable to attend. I am looking for someone to pick up a purchase at the launch site. Contact me...
Yeah. We are a very esoteric part of the whole BATF orange book, and you can't expect them to know it all. Â However, I still have a mess of igniters that I...
I find it strange that possessing black powder for replica historical firearms does not require a LEUP, while possessing it for rocketry-related matters does....
If you want to get technical, it doesn't matter that you own a BP rifle, it's how you use the BP that counts. USAGE makes it regulated or exempt. This...
The answer is simple. All black powder is explosive. Later the NRA got an exemption for "commercially manufactured black powder in quantities not to exceed...
... Won't work. A "pellet" is just like an Estes engine - compressed powder. Burns much MUCH too slow for ejection charges. There is a reason that people use...
Thanks...I've been a rocketeer for a long time, but APCP and its peripheral aspects are stil quite new. Watch this address for numerous elementary questions in...
No such thing. Every question you ask has either been asked by someone else already (i.e. you aren't the first) or someone else would like to know and didn't...
Note I didn't say "stupid" or "dumb" question... Â I discovered some time back that there are rocketeers out there who think it requires an electronic...
Did you have two or more trackers? Stu _____ From: rocketry-austin@yahoogroups.com [mailto:rocketry-austin@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of John Brandon III Sent:...
Actually just one...that gives you plus-or-minus five percent accuracy, which is quite good enough for review data. We've used two for contests in the past. ...
I did a high school science experiment in 1966 where I tracked rocket flights and used the same rockets with different weights and with the same type of motor...
Thank you, Stu...That makes me feel a lot closer to my preferred 'young-at-heart' state! I was four years away from my first rockets at that time. ... From:...
I now have a huge pile of CTI Pro29, Pro38, and Pro54 reloads and hardware to go along with all the Aerotech stuff. I haven't had time to inventory everything...
Will AARG still conduct its standard third Saturday research launch in November? If so, what is the location? Is the AARG.org website still operational? I've...
Aarg.org is out of commission right now. We're working on getting it back up, but it will probably be a while. Mark From: rocketry-austin@yahoogroups.com...
If not, there's a two-day launch at Asa 11/21-22 where you can fly anything. Jim Parker ________________________________ From: dr <darrell_reamer@...> ...
