I have made a rocket that when complete weighs less than 454g, and uses less than 113g of propellant, but by design it is intended to reach nearly 13,000'.
Now, technically, according to FAA regulations, and NAR rules, that does not require any certification or notification to fly, but 10k is controlled airspace by the FAA< and you are supposed to get permission to enter it (this is what a waiver allows) but in this case, with this rocket, do I need it?
And what are the penalties if I do fly without a waiver, and someone decides they don't like it? I'm not NAR or TRA, and there will only be some family there, not a club launch. Am I going to get F-16s circling, trying to shoot my rocket down?
Anyone?
Thanks
