Are NAR regulations legally binding if you're not a member??? That would be... odd. 


You can own/fire/test anything that doesn't fit under the explosives act.

Actually *flying* said motor in a vehicle--that's a different matter.
ERD--who regulate explosives in Canada, don't consider hybrids and liquid bi-propellant motors to fit under the explosives act.
Now, there *are* other regulations, such as the boilers and pressure-vessels regs, but they are a lot murkier, and don't apply to 
  "scientific apparatus".

    Essentially it is not legal to own or fire a "none commercial

    Some where there is a NAR regulation that say it's illegal to
    manufacture a device that creates a gas at anything but
    atmospheric pressure without proper authorization.

        A friend of mine recently mentioned that the legal environment
        in Canada is such that one can't test small amateur engines -
        liquid fuel, for example.

        That's not something which I though is the case, so I'd be
        glad if somebody, who may have more information, would give
        some details.
