- Its planes that shoot rockets that are forbidden.
-
- I think the stipulation is a five pound weight limit and "G" total impulse
- for an airplane that uses rocket motors as its primary means of propulsion.
- I was thinking that this would not include, say, huge scale C-130s with
- JATO packs, since the C-130 uses its engines for primary propulsion.
-
- It would, I think, be interesting to add R/C Rocket Glider and Boost Glider
- as R/C and Free Flight events.
