Rec.Models.Rockets FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions): PART 1 OF 14
GENERAL INFORMATION
This portion of the r.m.r FAQ is maintained by Buzz McDermott, at
bmcdermo@
ix.netcom.com. Comments, criticisms, suggestions and corrections
for this section should be sent to that email address.
1.1 What, exactly, is a 'model rocket' versus a 'high power' rocket? Where do
liquid fueled and homemade rocket motors fit in? What about amateur
rockets?
'Model', 'high power', 'advanced', and 'amateur' are all terms which have
many definitions, depending to whom you are speaking. In r.m.r., and in the
FAQ documents, the definitions (if any) accepted by the NFPA, National
Association of Rocketry, and Tripoli High Power Rocketry Association are
used. If these definitions conflict the NAR definition is used.
