	What is Model Rocketry?, rockets describes by the staff @ Commonwealth Displays (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The model rocket, and perhaps more importantly, the model rocket motor, were both designed in 1954 by Orville Carlisle, a licensed pyrotechnics expert, and his brother Robert, a model airplane builder.
		Model rocketry is, and has been since it began with Carlisle and Stine, one of the safest hobbies available for youths and adults.
		This is due to the Model Rocketry Safety Code, which specifies the two parts that make a safe flying model rocket: the pre-manufactured motor and the light-weight model rocket itself.

	National Association of Rocketry \| The Sport Rocketry Hobby (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Model rocketry was developed during the "space race" era as an alternative to the amateur rocket activity -- involving metallic airframes and the mixing of dangerous propellants -- that was responsible for injuring and even killing numerous young scientific experimenters.
		Like model rockets, high power rockets are typically made of safer, non-metallic materials such as cardboard, plastic, and wood; but they use motors in ranges over "G" power and/or weigh more than laws and regulations allow for relatively unrestricted model rockets.
		Model rockets are exempt from FAA regulation (thanks to FAR 101.1), provided they are operated in a manner so as not to pose a hazard to aircraft.

	HOBBIES : Other : Model Rocketry Basics : DIY Network
		Though the majority of model rocketry doesn't technically fall within the category of radio-controlled hobbies (there are some that utilize radio control for post-launch flight and recovery), it is a closely related and highly developed hobby that continues to grow.
		Model rockets are available in a wide range of styles and sizes, from a 7-foot-tall inflatable model down to mini-models that are only a few inches.
		In all, there are three skill-levels in model rocketry, level 1 being the simplest, level 2 being intermediate, and level three being the most advanced.

	Explosive Regulations Threaten to Kill Model Rocketry
		The model rocket scientists-turned-lobbyists are quick to point out that if model rocket engines are designed to explode under the definition used by the ATF, no rocket would get off the ground.
		Model rocket hobbyists of all ages are preparing to fire off faxes, e-mails, letters and phone calls to Capitol Hill to support Enzi's efforts.
		For the space modeling enthusiasts, the actions of the government make no sense, especially at a time when the nation is recovering from the Feb. 1 shuttle Columbia tragedy and kids of all ages are asking questions about the value of such programs.

	MRN - Model Rocketry - In General
		Model rockets are made of lightweight materials such as paper, wood, rubber, and plastic.
		All model rockets are required to have some sort of "recovery system" to bring the rocket gently back to earth.
		Because model rocket motors come in different sizes and different "powers", a model rocket can go to different altitudes (heights) depending upon which motor you put in it.

	CARWeb - CAR Model Rocket Safety Code
		My model rocket will always use a recovery system to return it safely to the ground so that my model rocket may be reflown.
		My model rocket will not weigh more than 1500 grams at lift-off, and the model rocket engine(s) will contain no more than 125 grams of propellant and produce no more than 160 N-s combined total-impulse.
		My model rocket will always be launched from a stable platform having a device to initially guide its motion.

	Amateur rocketry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amateur rocketry, sometimes known as amateur experimental rocketry or experimental rocketry is a hobby in which participants experiment with fuels and make their own rocket motors, launching a wide variety of types and sizes of rockets.
		Model rocketry by definition then became a separate and distinct activity from amateur rocketry.
		The Tripoli Rocketry Association sanctions some amateur activities, which they call "experimental rocketry," provided certain safety guidelines are followed, and provided the motors are of relatively standard design.

	rec.models.rockets FAQ Part 5
		Large Model Rocket (LMR) is an FAA designation for a model rocket that is between 454 grams (16 ounces) and 1500 grams of mass, including propellant, -OR- contains more than 113 grams (4 ounces) but less than 125 grams of propellant (all motors).
		Many modelers also recommend that stronger 24mm motor tubing, such as that from LOC or Aerotech, be used for models flying with composite motors.
		It is therefore natural for fans of rocketry to look at the prices of the ingredients of an engine and think to themselves that such engines really can't be all that difficult to make - and that "home made" might be not only cheaper, but just as good as factory engines in other ways.

	Model rocket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As with low power model rockets, high power rockets are also constructed from lightweight materials, but instead of paper, plastic, and wood, usually fiberglass, composites, and aluminum are needed to withstand the higher stresses during flight which often exceeds Mach 1 (~700 mph) and over 10,000 ft altitude.
		Since the September 11, 2001 attacks, high powered model rocketry in the United States has been even more carefully monitored by the government.
		[edit] Controversy in the U.S. Both amateur and model rocketry have come under controversy in the United States following the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington D.C., as federal and state authorities allege that model rockets can be modified to act as weapons.

		This is a misclassification over which the rocketry community has been fighting the agency since APCP first mistakenly appeared on the list of explosives back in the '70s, and they've never been able to get them to remove it, despite pressure from sympathetic legislators.
		Ignoring the fact that the hobby of building model rockets has created at least a couple generations of rocket engineers, some argue that still, it is "just a hobby," and can't justify the possibly increased risk to the public welfare of reducing restrictions.
		I think the fact that the ATF is trying to regulate something that is actually safer than the alternative tells you that the safety of the public isn't their real motivation.
