Contest info part tres'
Wednesday, April 4, 2007 at 6:50PM I've gotten a number of E-requests for reminders of 'What's the contest categories again?" From what was in last months launch announcement, we advertised three categories. 1= "D" engine "Streamer Duration". 2= "C" engine "Egg loft Duration" (with a chute) 3= "A" engine "Supra roc Duration" (also with a chute) I got some additional information about the "A" engine "Supperoc" rocket contest category from our NAR contest source, Bob. As follows. For a Supperoc; It needs to be 40" to 60" long, the longer it is, up to 60", the more points you get. You can use any size body tubes you want, naturally the thinner it is the lighter it can be. And, the bigger the tube, the bigger the chute you can pack into it. Check the ROCC web site, WWW.rocketrycarolina.org, for posted plans of a standard Supperoc. You can fly any "A" motor on the NAR Approved motor list. I myself would be quite interested to see someone fly using the Estes A8 or the Quest A6 (both 18mm), to see if that would be an effective strategy. The Egg loft and streamer duration is pretty straightforward. The article on the streamer duration helped out a lot. I'm working on the "D" streamer rocket myself. See everyone on the flight deck.
