They don't ban them per se, they just make you buy them from local dealers instead of from the company by mail, and they have certain specified places where it's legal to fly them.<br /> We flew them from the back yard anyway, and once a fin fell off and the rocket flew in a huge arc and landed on top of the special ed building of the junior high school, which was stressful as the contrail pointed directly from the scene of the crime to our back yard for about a half hour.<br /> Now days I gather that they're mostly afraid of starting wildfires.<br /><br /> -Doug in Oaklanddinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-49720327565839759132020-02-23T23:15:53.940-05:002020-02-23T23:15:53.940-05:00California bans Estes rockets?
