Talk about your money
going up in Smoke
At least you have the satisfaction of color & sparkles
A liquid propellant rocket might be more cost effective, and I know they are not sanctioned

The EAA is cool, there's a guy up the street with an old BD-5 in his garage.

I know of the hybrid rocket motors as

My boss has a BD-5, he says he wants to sell it (or did sell it?) because he is too big for the canopy to close over him.

Could be any time.
I try and find another reason to make the trip as well, so I don't waste so much time and gas.
Why, do you have something in mind?

Yes, I was thinking we can grab a bite to eat somewhere were my van will fit.
I just need to know the night before so I can map-it and leave the house earlier to make the rendezvous.
