I keep on hearing and being told that I can only buy/use E engines and above if I am certified by thr UKRA.
That is a load of bull there is no law in the UK that says that I even have to be a member of that or any group.
As long as I have the required paperwork, in the UK it is a. Registered explosives store. b. Explosive certificate COER! c. Recipient competent authority document.
I can buy and use the big motors.
Now I dont want to belittle the UKRA or any other group as they do valuable work and help to keep our sport unregulated and safe.
But if I want to fly big rockets I DO NOT have to be certificated. I have had arguments with shops on this subject and have rarely been refused the motors I want.
Some of us are very knowlegable about explosives and rocket motors and as such have little need of any further "tests".
I have my own insurance for third party accident or injury.
Having said that it is my intention to join the UKRA in the future as in my opinion the deserve our support.
Sorry for the long "rant".
