Pretty damn cool motor! It is presumably available at your Local Rocketry

AFAIK, if you have valid insurance, permission from the landowner and a duly

can launch HPR where you like...

Model stuff does not actually require an RSO, but does still require
adherence to the safety code; always check the small print ;)

Pro38's; I counted 3 x PML chutes on the nose and 0 on the arse ;)
