The motors to which I refered (F and G impulse) are classified as *model* 
rocket motors.  

They are generally available in most all states.  There are exceptions where 
the state fire marshall has some concern (Calif recently) or where (I think) 
there are laws limiting the total impulse (Mass.).  

I am unaware of any limitation
in Wis on use of *model* rocket motors.  I think the Consumer Product Safety
Comm recently came down with a ruling that G impulse motors must only be
sold to people 18 yrs of age or older.

Above G impulse you can still obtain the motors by joining the National
Assoc of Rocketry or Tripoli and passing some certification tests. These
orgs will then notify manufacturers of your successful certification and
you will be able to purchase motors by "mail" or in person at certain
events.

Hope that helps.  *Much* more information can be had (if you're interested)
by posting a question to rec.models.rockets.
