***WARNING RANT AGAINST SPARKY HATERS***
IF you have thin skin or hate sparkies read no further it will just piss you off, you have been warned!
Ok California might be suffering from a drought but in other parts of the country we are not! In fact where I live we have had a very wet summer to the point the last time I had to water my lawn was the middle of July.
Now why the hate and irrational self imposed ban on sparkies? I have been doing this for 15 years and I have yet to see ANY motor start ANY fire. Now i'm sure it has happened due to a CATO but under normal flight use!?
Now you might say why risk it! Well WAAAA go hide under your bed and stay indoors where it's safe. Every time you get in your car you run the risk of dying. There is an element of risk with this hobby its what makes it fun! If they started fires all this time I could see a ban, I'm sorry its just not the case!
I'm tired of the, "I heard that one did" or that you saw one once because I don't believe it! Unless it was your motor and you have pictures and proof that it was a sparky launch with three other witnesses and that it indeed started a fire, I don't want to hear it! It's BS!
We got pounded with 3 days of rain this week and at the next launch the rule @$% will proclaim again no sparkies!! I know the BLM has not said we cant use them, they dont know the first thing about what we are doing. When they do show up most of them have a ball watching and wouldn't know one if they saw one.
What the hell am I supozta do with all my sparky motors!
