Pete Schurke has been organizing and running NAR Competition events at our 60 Acres Launches. Keep tune for updates.
From the 60 Acres January Launch:
Good afternoon, Rocketeers!
Our January contest was lightly attended, but the two flyers did very well!
S3 (Parachute Duration): Shane Ferrell had three qualified flights totaling 251.84 seconds. Good enough to put him into third place on the national scoreboard in the C division! His second flight found a thermal no-one thought could possibly exist in January--not just once, but three times! His flight would have been even longer, had it not snagged in a rocket-eating tree.
S9 (Helecopter Duration): Jim Wilkerson had three qualified flights totaling 106.81 seconds. Good enough to put him into fourth place on the national scoreboard in the C division! His last flight may have found the remnants of the same thermal Shane had caught, giving him a very robust flight time.
Respectfully submitted,
Pete Schurke
