The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has recently advised that they propose to terminate a special permit under which model rocket motors and igniters have been shipped for the last 33 years. If the permit is terminated model rocket motors and igniters will no longer be able to be shipped as "Flammable Solids" and will instead have to be shipped as "Explosives."
In 33 years there have been NO incidents involved in the shipping and transporting of model rocket motors and igniters.
Please sign the petition!
I have been overwhelmed by the messages from hobbyists sharing how much this permit means to them. It is clear that this is a community built on safety and I am truly humbled that you chose to back me on this.

shipping as explosives is overkill and you know it. keep the current classification.

Ridiculous red tape. These motors are perfectly safe and have been for decades. Do not change this.

My son loves building rockets on the weekends and this is just going to drive the costs way up for hobbyists. stop trying to fix what isnt broken.
