finished the little bugger lights and flys fairly well, if the wind isn't kicking up

Rockets that are under the 1lb size still need to be flown under
FAA notification rules and are not exempt but no longer require
a waiver.

Hi William:
I'm confused as https://tinyurl.com/yj3nlt exempts rockets weighing less than 1 pound with less than 4 ounces of propellant. Is the eCFR not current?
Best wishes,
Will

Look at 101.22 and 101.23 if this link does not work.
edit: link failed, go to FAA web site and CFR's
Clearly specifies all unmanned rockets with a no flight between
sunset and sunrise (101.23 h) does not exempt small rockets.
Under 101.22/a&b it gives large rocket specs and states that
101.23 h does not have to be followed if you fly under 101.25
(notification). So all small rockets up to 3.3 lbs need notification.
But as always check with your local ATC or airport. They might
have a say. It's their airspace anyway.
