I understood that the EE tag was for electronics engineering related to PIC
projects, but not involving the PIC itself, and I would therefore have put
this under OT. However, that is just my interpretation, not something I have
seen in the rules.

Having said that, I work at a research lab in the UK which builds
instruments for space research, and a colleague of mine was interested in
model rocketry. One weekend he decided to launch his rocket from a large
lawn area in the front of the lab. Unfortunately instead of going up a long
way, it went up a short way the sideways straight over the top of the lab.
He proceeded to chase it, but the security guards would not let him into the
lab because they thought it was under attack by the IRA :)

I would think that your local club is showing reasonable sense in stopping
launches for a little while until the present situation settles, and keeping
themselves in the good books of the local authorities.
