Let me start by saying -
I'm not the safety police -or- the Soup Nazi. But I am disappointed.
My concern is you just admitted to spending an entire day purposefully and knowingly violating the safety code and you seem proud or obliviously or both.
If your jolly rancher (yes I said jolly rancher, I'm just a silly school girl)
opens at apogee -
and the rocket drifts into some dry flammable brush 1000 feet from the launch pad.
Here is what could happen:
Big wildfire, lots of acers destroyed, everyone pissed at your irresponsible judgement. (think about the current situation on the west coast)
No soup for you - and no insurance too. Violation of the safety code = claim denied.
Tisk, Tisk, Tisk - You are setting a bad example for all the other kids.
G motor is 1000 feet minimum on the shortest side of the launch site.
More than just a suggestion, these safety codes are
STATE LAW in most (not all) of the USA. - Pretty sure PA is included.
