What is the policy regarding the use of Research Motors sold for profit at a Tripoli Launch?

The policy regarding the use of Research Motors sold for profit at a Tripoli launch is that it is never permitted. This is in place to maintain the integrity of the rocketry community and to ensure that safety and regulatory standards are upheld. Research Motors are generally intended for experimental purposes and are not to be monetized or commercially exploited at club launches.

Allowing the use of Research Motors sold for profit would raise concerns about quality control, safety, and the overall purpose of research and development in rocketry. It could lead to inconsistencies in performance and safety standards, as these motors may not be subject to the same regulations as commercially available motors. This policy helps to protect all participants at a launch by prohibiting the use of potentially unreliable or non-standard components that have not been evaluated within the parameters of the Tripoli Rocketry Association's safety guidelines.
