How big does it have to be before they stop calling it a “model rocket”?

Good question! Probably a matter of (potential) payload?

A model rocket ends at 3.3 lbs total weight and 62.5 grams of propellant. Anything over that, like this beast, is considered high power rocketry.

BTW...the model/high power hobby rocketry people just won a 10 year plus legal battle with the BATFEces over high power rocket engines.
