The problem is less the machine than the the purchasers they seem to attract. There’s a launch spot on the coast near us in an area popular with all sorts of peaceful leisure users.
Nearly everyone there is on the booze (having driven there) language and manners to make a paratrooper blush and utterly oblivious to the noise, disruption and danger that their lack of discipline and courtesy causes.
I now have no issue with it as a passtime but wtf does it only seem.to attract attention whores who want to make a din so we know what fun they are having?
If you need someone else to know you are having fun then you are not having enough fun.
