What are the legal requirements for rocket engines?
This again depends on what type of rocketry you wish to do. Model rocket engines (A-D) are free from paperwork unless you store large quantities because they are classed as pyrotechnics. So the only restriction is that you must be 18 years of age to purchase them. If you want to start in Mid Power or High Powered Rockets then you will need some paperwork from the Police and HSE in order to be able to purchase them, however for most flyers a simple RCA is all that is needed. Of course hybrid motors do not require any paperwork although you still will need an explosives license to store the black powder used for ejection charges. Please refer to the other introductions for more in depth information on the type of rocketry you are interested in.
