Is the end near for Model Rockets?

[Crissup]

I got this email yesterday from a friend upset that a new restriction on the ingredients used in model rockets will kill the industry. I havent' really researched this yet, but a quick glance appears to be valid. What do you all think? Is this the end of model rockets as we know it?




Homeland Security Act Killing Model Rocketry?

I've read this in some hobby magazines, and some TV shows.. yes, there is a hobby show somewhere on TV.


There will be restrictions, as for how much, I don't know. I think there will be an age restriction as well. I did read of some, but as my son is just getting into rockets.. I;m not sure what to do.


It won't be the end, just a different form is how I interpreted the article.

Yikes! I hope not. Model rockets is a big part of our store. I know we have to keep the fuse and some other things behind the counter already. My DH is very careful who he sells the fuses to. He grills them about their intentions before he sells it to them.
