I don't know, but does the FAA even have jurisdiction over model
airplanes and rockets? It seems you would have to get a city ordinance
or something like that to keep these from flying.

To fly model rockets you have to get a waiver from FSDO to be legal.

Incorrect.

To fly MODEL rockets (MR up to 1#), you need do NOTHING. FAR 101.1
completely exempts them from FAA regulation.

To fly LARGE MODEL ROCKETS (LMR 1.0-3.3#) you need to NOTIFY the FAA. FAR
101.22 Again, you are NOT requesting permission.

To fly HIGH POWER ROCKETS (HPR over 3.3#) you need to fill out the same
waiver form used for air shows, in advance (30-45 days) and get the FAA
permission in advance.

Under the current regulations, the FAA does not have the authority to ban
model rocket operations that are exempted under FAR 101.1 or 101.22. We flew
the weekend after 9/11 in spite of many other things being shut down.

Note that the FAA regulations say NOTHING about altitude. It's theoretically
possible for a model exempted under FAR 101.1 to go as high as 7000' AGL.
Yet I've got a model that falls into the HPR category, but only goes up
about 150'. As I've said many times, "It's the government, it doesn't have
to make sense"
