I had been interested in model rocketry for some time and once I bought myself a little booklet about that topic. After reading it I have to say that all you must be really disappointed if you come to Germany to fly your rockets.
They do not allow any motors bigger than D, no multi-stage rockets and some other restrictions. To fly these bigger models, you need a T2 license which is handled under the Explosives Law. Applying for the license is expensive and requires to attend a special training course.
I think these restrictions are quite sad (this was also expressed by the author of the booklet) for anybody who would like to go for high-power rockets. What do you think about these regulations here?
And a second question: I've seen some models with a payload chamber. Did you fly one of them and what was your payload? Can you do real scientific research with a model rocket?
