Its planes that shoot rockets that are forbidden. 

I think the stipulation is a five pound weight limit and "G" total impulse
for an airplane that uses rocket motors as its primary means of propulsion. 
I was thinking that this would not include, say, huge scale C-130s with 
JATO packs, since the C-130 uses its engines for primary propulsion.

It would, I think, be interesting to add R/C Rocket Glider and Boost Glider
as R/C and Free Flight events.
