February preview

February 20th & 21st is the next launch weekend so here's a preview of a few things that'll be going on.
First, the Golf Ball loft contest. This is a contest to see who can loft a standard, regulation-weight golf ball and clock the longest flight on a B-impulse engine.
The rules are located on Rocketry Planet, but the basics are that the ball is timed, must be recovered on the field, and the ball can't fall off the rocket before it's launched if you turn it upside down. I think I'm the only one who has flown one so far, and I got an unofficial time of 44.25 seconds.
We'll be extending it into March but we want to show enough results to the folks at NAR so that they might want to add this to the roster of sanctioned events.
Looking ahead to April's launch we're organizing the H-power egg loft. Bob's sending in the paper work so that we'll be sanctioned for it. Check out the regulations on the NAR website under the high power rules.
More details later, but start building!
